3D FlipBook - Feature Requests

Hi, thanks for your work on this plugin. Really like the 3D visualisation, I haven't found any other plugin that has managed to showcase PDFs as nicely. I've got the following suggestions for improving the user experience (ordered by priority):

a) Provide a functionality that allows a direct link to be shared, showing only the viewer which takes up the whole frame. My guess is that this should be useful for many users, especially those with thumbnail/layout difficulties – then they can design their own link and have it open in it's own page, without having to worry about layout issues. Not sure if this is possible on WordPress? Example: https://online.flippingbook.com/view/631977/

b) Approx 50% of users are on mobile now, so it makes sense to try to ensure equal experience across both desktop and mobile. For this plugin, a key advantage is the 3D visualisation and interaction. If the page is fully visible, a finger swipe on mobile/tablet should allow the user to manipulate page. If the page is zoomed in, a finger swipe should allow user to pan. Example: https://online.flippingbook.com/view/631977/

c) To make it more apparent to the user that it's possible to flip by manipulate the pages, the corner should animate not only on mouse-over, but also animate periodically every two seconds as soon as the document is displayed. This should be paused when user flips to next page, and could be re-enabled if user is inactive for e.g. 15 seconds. Example: https://online.flippingbook.com/view/631977/

d) Allow user to manipulate and drag the page from not just the corner, but from anywhere on the outer half/third of the page.

e) Provide setting for default book viewing angle (currently starts viewing straight down onto the document and needs to be manually changed by user)

f) Current fade in animation when opening a document is a gentle "pop-in" effect. Since the document is in 3D, could add following optional fade-in animations: -20º tilt to 0º tilt (to allow user to understand that document is a 3D object) -rapidly flip backwards from page 10 to first page (to allow user to understand that pages can be manipulated in 3D like a real book)

g) Improve backend settings UI. Maybe a layout in table format with radio buttons could work for some sections?

I appreciate you reviewing these suggestions, I think your plugin has the potential to become one of the top flipbook extensions with these improvements!

Thanks for your hard work & best regards, Mark
