Long Story Short is a site built entirely in HTML and CSS that pushes the boundaries of responsive design by employing the act of re-sizing the browser window as the primary method of interaction. It aims to acquaint the screen with a deeper sense of physicality. The landing page features a book shelf that, when shortened or widened, causes the books to fall accordingly. When a book is then selected from the shelf, the user may flip through the pages by pulling the new window wider.
