So I'm working on this hybrid audiobook/ebook setup. The page scrolls to follow the audio, keeping the section being read roughly in the middle of the page. Continuous scroll made me queasy, so instead it scrolls every few seconds.

I made a custom chapter selector rather than a dropdown box, because I'm an eejit prone to reinventing the wheel, when the wheel isn't aesthetically pleasing to me. Do you think it works? Or should I go trad on this part of the UI?

I'm really sorry, please take no offense, but it seems you're inventing the wheel. Have you ever considered DAISY? It's a format especially designed for this purpose, have text or/and audio at the same time, with as fine-grained navigation as you wish. daisy.org/

I take no offense πŸ˜„ I set myself projects because I want to do them. It really doesn't matter if they have been done before.

One time I dived into a difficult problem and invented a technique that ended up getting taught in ARM processor classes for the next twenty years, but now I'm retired, I just do things to keep my mind active.

I do appreciate the link!
