Writebook is remarkably simple software that allows you to publish text and pictures in a simple, browsable online book format. h/t spotted in a blog post by Doug Belshaw https://dougbelshaw.com/blog/2024/07/21/weeknote-28-2024/

Wax- The Word Processor for the Web
Wax- The Word Processor for the Web
Wax is a framework for building web-based word processors. We have built this software because publishing, on the whole, lacks high quality open source tools. One of the critical missing pieces has been a web-based ‘editor’ that publishers of all kinds can use. Publishers are professsional text workers and they need higher quality, more accurate, text editing tools than most web applications require. Publishers also require functionality that other types of web production paradigms generally do not. Track changes, citations and notes are just three examples.

Paged.js
Paged.js
Paged.js is a free and open source JavaScript library that paginates content in the browser to create PDF output from any HTML content. This means you can design works for print (eg. books) using HTML and CSS! Paged.js follows the Paged Media standards published by the W3C (ie the Paged Media Module, and the Generated Content for Paged Media Module). In effect Paged.js acts as a polyfill for the CSS modules to print content using features that are not yet natively supported by browsers.

txt.fyi
This is the dumbest publishing platform on the web. Write something, hit publish, and it's live. There's no tracking, ad-tech, webfonts, analytics, javascript, cookies, databases, user accounts, comments, friending, likes, follower counts or other quantifiers of social capital. The only practical way for anyone to find out about a posting is if the author links to it elsewhere. But it is legible, no-nonsense static hypertext, good for short stories, not-short-enough tweets and adventures and all your numbers station or internet dead drop needs. Here you can scream into the void and know the form of your voice is out there forever. Search engines are instructed not to index posts and I'll do my best to make sure this isn't used as a tool by spammers or other abusers. Nonetheless, posting will be turned off if anything bad grows out of it. Use basic Markdown to format posts: #header, bold, italic, code, >quote, and hyperlinks in the format link. Try !hacker and !professor and !timestamp too.

The Art of Digital Storytelling (Utne Reader)
The Art of Digital Storytelling (Utne Reader)
If mainstream cultural commentators were talking about the projects I see covered in the alternative sources circulating through the Utne Reader library, however, devotees of print would perk right up: There are a number of start-ups that have the potential to turn conventional, commercial publishing upside down; free initiatives that dish up riveting prose in bite-size nuggets; and literary communities forming around the art (not the business) of storytelling. None of these models are out to replace ink and paper outright, nor do they rely on expensive devices whose rapid obsolescence is all but guaranteed. They’re simply designed to foster clear, compelling communication.

Hybrid Books From Publishers Like Simon and Schuster Add Video and Web Features to Reading - NYTimes.com
Simon & Schuster, the publisher of Ernest Hemingway and Stephen King, is working with a multimedia partner to release four “vooks,” which intersperse videos throughout electronic text that can be read — and viewed — online or on an iPhone or iPod Touch. And in early September Anthony E. Zuiker, creator of the television series “CSI,” released “Level 26: Dark Origins,” a novel — published on paper, as an e-book and in an audio version — in which readers are invited to log on to a Web site to watch brief videos that flesh out the plot.
