Platforms like #Webtoon and #Tapas are already known for becoming overly-corporatized, having poor pay & working conditions for creators, and using AI where it doesn't belong.

We're feeling more and more confident about launching #ComixCleric every day. :)

Speaking of the classic musical comics, what about a little WIP preview of the built-in audio player for "How the King Stole Christmas"?
Being able to include audio alongside a comic can elevate the experience, and we're excited to offer it.
This is still in development, and may change!

Keeping a steady schedule is a big part of being any type of content creator, but especially for #webcomics! It may be an obvious addition, but being able to set a release date is an important feature for Comix Cleric!

As far as "Comment/Favorite" systems are concerned, we have plans for them, but they might not be available on initial release.
We definitely love fan engagement, but setting up a user account system for readers is a bit tricky! Once we figure things out, we'll be sure to add it in.

Important that not all comics are in English!
There are plans for having a toggle that you can use to switch between multiple versions of a comic page, whether it's multiple languages, different perspectives, etc.

Also, is multilingual comics could be a thing? I have a French and English version.

We haven't considered bulk updates, since some comic updates (especially Webtoon-formatted ones) can be built up using multiple files. We'll look into it though!
However, you CAN bulk-UPLOAD all your files into CC, and retroactively date them to their proper release dates.

I do! Will we be able to upload several pages at once and gave each a different publishing date? I have a fik8shed 360+ pages webcomic and I don't want to upload them one by one ^^;
