Some outdated things make beautiful results though

QuarkXPress can do that, so it's obviously not an unreasonable request: 
 
 
InDesign can do it too, but it looks like it creates one that requires Flash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_VCAiRcbdg

Actually right now I would live to have such a export function to share my photo book online without giving the PDF away.
Looking at existing solutions they are all rather expensive for a non-pro and have also a bad UI.
Is there any free / open source solution to convert a PDF or a bunch of JPGs to a HTML5 flip book that I can host on my own server?

After finnishing a book in Publisher it would be nice to have a feature where I can publish the book as a flip book on my web page. Compare how you can brows a book at Blurb an similar print on demand book sites. 
Now I can make the book as a pdf, but that will not be as elegant to look at as a flip book.

Found this on Youtube and it blew me away. Designer makes it possible to draw intricate mandalas with less effort, more precision and more quality than meets the eye. The bloke (don't know if the guy in the video actually invented it) that figured this out should be given a medal. I included the .afdesign file that I saved with history as well, so others can have a look at how it was drawn.

I've always been attracted to Art Nouveau imagery, particularly that of the brilliant Alphonse Mucha, who is largely accredited for starting that appealing type of graphic art. I wanted to wrap my mind around the specific aspects of the craft of which this practice drawing is the first attempt. I plan to do more Art Nouveau all vector drawings in the future, unlike this image that contains both vector and bitmap embedded files. Technically this image is some sort of blend of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, the latter being the successor of the first art movement, I guess.

Sinister invite. Love it.

I submitted a bug report, the pattern isn't applied, colours are OK, I did find a way to get the pattern to show and that was by turning off the pattern layer in the appearance panel and then turning it back on again. 
 

Talented piece of vector work IMO

Very very nice. The facial expression particularly is ✨

Love Art Nouveau.
 

This reminds me, in style, of the artwork of Luis Royo, love his work.

Pretty straight forward using symbols and power duplicate but the effect is cool. I have noticed that if you draw a shape and apply a stock style to it the texture isn't replicated in the other shapes, so possibly a bug.

At times, out of the blue, I become overwhelmed by poetic feelings. They urge me to step out of bed and write down what lingers in my mind. Here is an example of what such moods bring me to do.
 

Affinity Designer is the program I use most from the Affinity suit and I haven't yet done a lot with Affinity Photo. So I thought it was time to do a little experimenting. I found an image of an occult statue on line, that intrigued me and used it to retouch it to my personal preference. I narrowed its wings and changed its face somewhat (among other things).
I have to practice more with Affinity Photo, which I will do when I have more time. Being a vector drawing aficionado this type of work is a little out of my comfort zone, but looking outside of it probably is a good thing to do in this life, bearing in mind that many matters obviously are intentionally induced and imposed, which of course has a certain purpose that does not necessarily concur with my intuition.

@SrPx: Thank you for your comment. The explanation of the two arts is correct and I agree it is more Art Nouveau than Art Deco, even if some elements reflect the latter. I believe Gaudi was also influenced by Art Nouveau, which probably is the reason why the work on the Sagrada Familia is pain staking and time consuming. Mimicking the organic works of nature is a huge challenge.
