A quiet reading room for sixteen classical homoeopathic repertories, six materia medicas and forty public-domain treatises — 352,063 rubrics, 1,429,263 remedy links (751,907 of them graded) and 5,392 sections of prose, read straight from the open JSON library on GitHub. No account, no server, no tracking, no build step.

The library also carries prose works as a treatise: no rubrics, no remedies. A numbered treatise (the Organon) shows a § against each paragraph; a chaptered one shows its chapter title instead. Each is a separate volume and none is merged with another.

The two Organons are genuinely different books: 74 paragraphs are worded differently and §292–§294 exist only in the fifth. Each paragraph carries the source it was read from and the fraction of its 12-letter sequences found verbatim in OCR scans of that same edition, so you can see for yourself that a paragraph is the book's text and not a reconstruction.
A reader. It opens a volume on its own contents and shows each rubric the way the book printed it — the symptom in the measure of the page, the remedies the book sets beside it, and the printed grade marks where the source carries them. Every remedy is a door: tap a chip to see the rubrics in that volume which list it.
It does not repertorise, score, rank, correct or complete anything. A repertory is evidence; a reader that starts guessing stops being evidence.
| Read | A repertory opens chapter by chapter, in the printed order; a materia medica opens by remedy, with its portrait, clinical indications and symptoms grouped by chapter. Knerr's 43 chapters, Kent's 34, Gentry's A–Z; single-file volumes build their contents from the sections inside the file. |
| Search | Three scopes — the open chapter, the volume, then every volume already on your device. Remedy abbreviations and resolved names are searched too. |
| Follow | Remedy chips filter a volume to the rubrics that carry them; the rail can list a volume by its drugs instead of its chapters. |
| Themes | Paper, vellum, sage, slate, lampblack — remembered per device, with serif text at a measured line length. |
| Offline | Chapters are kept in IndexedDB and served by a service worker, so a second visit works with the connection off. HTML stays network-first, so a release is never hidden behind a stale cache. |
| Fast | No framework, no dependencies, no build. Rendering is windowed — a 13,000-rubric chapter paints sixty rows at a time. |
docs/play/ is hand-built and hand-maintained: no CI, no build workflow, no
bundler, and no packaging into an EXE, an APK or a Linux binary. It is not wired
into app-builder and no automation regenerates its markup or design. See
LOCKED.md — if a change cannot be made without a build step, the
change is wrong.

# open http://localhost:8000/play/By default the reader fetches the library from GitHub (jsDelivr, falling back to
raw.githubusercontent.com). To read a local mirror of the library instead — the
way this app was tested — put the library's files under your web root and add
?lib=../lib/:
play/?lib=../lib/
Every volume is public domain, transcribed from its own scan and published as
app-ready JSON with a QC report per book, plus a catalog.json manifest this
reader loads first. The library is versioned and rebuilt by scripts; this reader
is not.
