A progressive web app to help you boost eBook performance
If you’re using a mouse/touch:
- click the checkbox to check
- click the label to display details
- click the “Thanks button” if you don’t need SVG, JS or animations
- click reset to… reset the checklist
If you’re using a keyboard:
- press “tab” to navigate items
- press “enter” to check
- press “space” to display details
- press “backspace” to reset the checklist
Don’t worry, your checklist is autosaved: you can close this website, your current checklist will be retrieved when reopened.
If you’re on iOS/Android/Windows 8–10, you can actually install this web app. Just visit the page and “Add to homescreen”.
Thanks to service workers, it will even work offline on Android, Chrome, Opera or Firefox (connection required on iOS).
The eBook Performance Checklist is part of the Blitz Project. It’s a progressive web app which aims is to help you boost your eBooks’ performance.
It is currently in v.0.41 (Marble Marshmallow) and available on this page.
This web app is just a glorified form with checkboxes.
- We’re using JS to toggle details.
- We’re using
localStorage(with cookie fallback) to store checked checkboxes + progress (bar’s width). - We’re using Service Workers to make it work offline—when supported.
- Keyboard features are implemented via JS when needed.
And that’s it.

The eBook dev ecosystem is a nightmare, we need eBook tools. And fast!
Very few people actually release those tools. Now it’s just a checklist so why would you want to keep this closed source, huh?
