🍭 @sweetshop.app is officially open for business! @kennym.bsky.social talks to @chriscoplan.bsky.social about taking the digital comics store out of beta, its 10,000+ titles, staying firmly anti-AI, life without Marvel and DC, and what comes next. Plus, there’s another project on the way... 👀

aiptcomics.comComics’ next taste sensation: Kenny Meyers on Sweet Shop’s go-live and next big stepsThe online comics retailer has ended its beta as the app went live late last week.

Demand to get in the beta has been high, so we gave everyone an invite today to share with their friends. Thank you for your support. It means the world. We’re here to grow comics. Still some things to hammer out, as the march to launch continues.

We call it fancy comic link tree sometimes. Here's a great shelf from @juniba.bsky.social. bindings.app/shelf/WDGNba8H

If you're a #comicbook artist concerned with Linktree's changes, happy to set anyone up on bindings.app. We allow NO AI comics and don't feed your amazing work to those machines, and we've got some good stuff coming down the pipeline. (and we've taken no VC money)

bindings.appComic Marketing on Easy ModeBindings lets you create a unique shareable link of your comic you can post anywhere, to show readers where you want to be found, and makes it dead simple support you.

The beta is exceeding our expectations. Expect more announced publishers on the platform shortly, and a bundle more of your favorites announced soon. If you need an invite ask around! Thank you everyone for your feedback. We're incredibly motivated by how excited everyone is.

Sweet doesn't take VC money. We don't have an AI play (AI comics are banned from our platforms). We hate NFTs (or whatever you want to call them) and crypto. We are focused on building a long-term business. ❤️We love you❤️. Thank you for comics. And thanks for coming to our TEDx Poughkeepsie talk.

Next month, things get even crazier as we reveal our final (very secret) project. Project Emerald. How 2000s Microsoft does that codename sound? Here is a generic picture of an emerald from Wikipedia.

Then in January 2025, we let the first folks into @sweetshop.app. The reviews we've received for just the beta have been outstanding.

James McEwan@mcwn.dev

Testing @sweetshop.app and folks, it's a gem. Even on my 2018 iPad it's smooth and responsive. Those page turns feel just right, the interactions intuitive, and the care put into the categorisation for discovery of comics is exceptional. This is the comic book app we need sweetshop.app/join/GgQcpi

That same month we started the review process with , which took us on a two month journey behind the scenes delaying all the plans. So we kept polishing the releases.

In November of 2024 we launched our creator marketing tool bindings.app. Used by popular creators like @kierongillen.bsky.social bindings.app/shelf/1FLv6kLb and @kellysue.bsky.social bindings.app/shelf/h7HLHZYr. It continues to grow as the new link for your bio.

A good day to remind everyone @sweetshop.app accepts no VC money, no AI comics, no AI translations, and would never use our publisher nor creators work to train generative AI (and pay them pennies for it).

Hi! I'm Kiki, a queer disabled comic artist. 🥰 Have you read our comic, Kuro Shouri? It started in 2005 and is inspired by 90s shonen classics! It's about two teens who, while they struggle to deal with each other, are being hunted by demons from another world! Links here: bindings.app/read/Tps9G0Nh

agree with this. it really is what i've always hoped for in digital comics. (it also has this thing that doesn't sound like a big deal but when you're in swipe mode, the pages go flush to the top and bottom of screen. CMX and NI have this thing where it stops like a half inch early I HATE IT)
