I'm taking this as another sign I just need to get off my ass and start my comic

@ape-aaron.bsky.social 👀

It’s mostly targeted towards traditionally formatted comics but you can also post a vertical scrolling comic. Haven’t decided if I’m going to build a mobile or tablet app yet, but I’m definitely considering it!

Alright. I understand.

👀 interesting

Gonna pin this for later.

That is srlsy really cool

I hope you meet that responsibility with earnest attention, you give people reasons to trust you, when you need support (legal, financial, maintenance, etc.) you ask for help, and when inevitably you are given opportunities to take advantage of those who put their trust in you, you reject them.

Do you mean like adding the ability to credit the writer and artist and all the contributors? That doesn't seem to hard to add

omg you are so sweet, you can support it on Patreon! It's just $3/month. I appreciate you!!! www.patreon.com/cw/WebcomicS...

This is so exciting! Having an indie space to publish to one day! Thank you!!

Webcomics are why I became the writer I am today. I've been reading webcomics for decades and I've been enthralled by stories from so many creators in that time. Seeing a new, accessible, anti-AI platform pop up just made my day! Good luck you crazed artists!

Ooh, interesting! Is it good for single panel or one-off comics too, or mainly geared toward long form? Oddly, Malwarebytes is pitching a fit when I try to visit the site. I'm not sure what might be causing that, but something to look into.

Cool app! If I may: having something like “full screen” mode for mobile devices would be nice, currently on smaller / zoomed-in mobile screens you have to scroll past the series title and nav every time to see the full page.

super excited for everything!! and please don't feel like you need to rush and implement everything right away, good things take time 🌻 thank you so much for giving indie webcomics a place

Ooooh, sounds nice! And I was looking for another platform to post my comic 👀

Lot of genuinely good looking story comics. Would this be good for gag strips as well? Always looking to share a few laughs with my silly strips.

Ok so like because of the risk of SA and other stuff being portrayed + possible laws slamming down on the site we can't publish outright porn but like... no issue with a full course on sex ed or heavy on flirting? Also no risk on me fueling lgbtphobia yeah

I'm actively working on this feature, yes :)

This is so cool! Saving this so that when I actually have enough of my comic to post I can do it here! Thank you for making this! 🥰🖤

* my TEENS

Welp, I have 0 excuses anymore, gonna give it a shot!

Whoah, saving this! Perfect timing!

heck yes!!!!!!!!

Would love to hear more about why NSFW is a liability? Is this to do with the host this is on (which seems to also be your job...?)? ftr I do love this and hope it succeeds- we need more hosts for webcomics! But also as someone who's been in adult comics for almost 20 years, kinda disappointing.

lol no I reset some secrets before deploying some code and broke things, it wasn't the infra

fixed

This is so cool!!

now that you mention it, it would be cool to allow creators to make a "dark mode" for their own comic's site too 🤔

I love this site and the opportunity it provides for comic creators such as myself. Is there a way that users can save or like comics so they can return to them later or bookmark/dogear a page on a long-form comic? The likes and or saves can provide analytics for the creators as well.

That’s awesome that you were able to make it free to use for webcomic creators, it’ll really help us a lot as there isn’t a ton of free options for creators. Big thank you to you🥂🫶

havent added that yet but it’s easy to implement. coming soon!

i agree, i just want to let people know there is *something* even if it's not enough in the grander scheme of censorship and so on

I agree that it sucks how few options there are. If you happen to be a developer (or an investor?), I think it would be awesome for you to build a platform like this that supports NSFW content. I would gladly support it!

yes!! ComicFury is awesome and also free

there is a group of artists out there fighting for NSFW spaces online and even looking into starting their own credit union. I can't remember their name right now, argh but it might be worthwhile to connect to them. I'll try to remember the name....

these platforms have the legal and financial means to support this kind of content, which is awesome. But this really isn't a question about values. even if monetization is off the table, I literally just dont have the means to support this.

As someone mentioned ComicFury is an old mainstay that allows sexually explicit work. There is also flowfo.me that not only permits sexually explicit work, but has means for you to add monetization features, as well.

Giving it a shot and it’s really nice though I think I have a bug, or I don’t understand, the scheduling functions. It seems to make any page I schedule readable immediately.

Sounds awesome! I should put my comic that I’m working on there. Though I have a question. My comic is an action comic that have some pints of blood and stuff that might be a bit disturbing (i.e. scary visuals). Is it okay for me to show it or should I just tone it down?

That's awesome! We did something like this back in the early 2000's but it all kind of got out of hand and we had to fold it up. Glad to see others picking up the torch and running with it.

All formats! Traditional layouts (single page or double spread) plus webtoons style vertical comics

Can’t wait to post my comics there! Gotta make my cover/title pages first!

Bookmarked for my story later, thanks o/

Right now I can afford to eat the costs, but I have a patreon too!

You need to add filter options to the browse page so that readers and find what they are into without struggle.

There was once a time when webcomic creators would have shivved one another with a rusty spork for what you are offering for free. For those of us who remember, this is NEWS! :-D

I mean, “I created a successful thing on the internet” is usually followed by “so I sold it to a tech giant for millions” not “so I now offer it for free” So, yeah, it’s pretty fucking great

Oh my gawwddd this is amazing, and it’s just what I needed to push my husband into finally publishing some of his stuff

Been looking for another place to mirror my webcomic, Aether Eternius, this looks so cool!

AMAZING!

Thank you so much for creating this site! I will be working to get my first comic published online now, thanks to you! ✨💜✨

This is VERY COOL. Definitely checking it out!!

Dying to list this 😍

Love that idea, yeah a way to link atproto identity + follow/subscribe for updates would be super cool

NO EXCUSES WEB DEVS CAN MAKE COMICS TOOOO

yes! thats on my list

Thank you so much for this! I just made a account and posted my comic. Now to find some on here to read!

This is incredible :o i have a sketch comic that i wanted to post online and this seems like a really good platform for it!

Extremely appreciative!

Woah this is super cool. Thanks for doing this.

the anti-Lowtax. hightax, perhaps

Ooh, I have a site already but this is intriguing!
