@gerbick Hey William! Sorry for the late reply! Uhhhh. That’s a good question! I’m not actually sure! 😅 Want a promo code to try it out? :D

Hey @iComicsApp potentially stupid question for you. Would your app start to have problems with around 3400 or so comics?

I’ve been experimenting with how to display extremely high-res comic book pages shrunk to fit tiny iOS device screens. It’s been a big issue in iComics lately. 🤔 I just tried rolling my own trilinear filter inside of UIKit and by gum, I think we’re onto something here! 😁

Happy Free Comic Book Day folks! You know the drill. iComics is free for the next 24 hours! icomics.co/app Here’s a blog post on it. :D timoliver.blog/2021/08/14/ico…

@MIN_JIA_ Hi there! Sorry for the delay! Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the app, and I’m glad translating it to Chinese was worth it! I’ll try my best! :)

@iComicsApp Hello, I am a Chinese user of your iComics app. Your app is the best comic app I have ever used. Thank you for your app to support Chinese. I came to Twitter to see the news of your upcoming second-generation iComics. I really can’t wait to use your next-generation app!

Woohoo! After poking buttons in Photoshop for a week, I think I've finally come up with the sort of design style I want for iComics 2. The idea is to evolve it slowly and add more features over time. :D Now to actually build it. XD (iPhone XS Max mockup by Pixeden)

@_libei Hey Bei! Thanks for for the follow! Not in iComics 1, sorry. Pages map 1-to-1 in the scroll view since the width is calculated up front. I’m going to redo the lot in iComics 2 to allow 2 page scrolling by building the page list dynamically. Thanks! :)

@iComicsApp Is there any way to display two pages at same time?

Woohoo! Version 1.5.3 with iOS 14 support was approved! It’s going live now! :D

@iamkowboy Hey Kowboy! I’ve had that request a lot! I’m saving that one for iComics 2 because it’s a rather complex thing to do, and it’ll be easier to do there. Thanks a lot! :)

@iComicsApp Please add vertical scrolling with continuous flow. I have a collection of webtoons but there is not a single app to read them on iPhone.

If anyone else has been experiencing crashes with iComics on iOS 14, I’ve uploaded a new beta to TestFlight. Feel free to give it a shot and let me know! testflight.apple.com/join/fxjiNdjM In the meantime, I’m looking at iOS widgets. :D

Hello world! I’ve added a basic iOS 14 widget to iComics to easily resume where you last left off. 😁 It’s still in the middle of being localised, but feel free to give it a shot in the latest beta! testflight.apple.com/join/fxjiNdjM

@yakk0dotorg Er yeah? What’s it doing exactly? Yeah it might just be Files, but I can check just in case. :)

@PaulJoel01 New test build is up! Please give this one a try and let me know if it’s still crashing. :) testflight.apple.com/join/fxjiNdjM

@iComicsApp just installed iOS 14 and when opening the app it’s blank! Please fix.

@PaulJoel01 Hey Paul! That’s odd! I haven’t heard of that before. No worries! I plan to update the app for iOS 14 this weekend! Thanks!

@EdwardAbarilla Hey Edward! Fantastic! Glad you like it! 😄 Wait, where did you send the feedbacks? I’ll try my best! This year kind of derailed all the plans I had for building the app so far, but I’m nearly back on track now. 😅

@dgavrilov Oh dear. Thanks for letting me know! I’ll have to look into that. In the meantime, you can access the underlying folder structure via the Files app if you need to get comic files out of there. :)

Probably should have mentioned this earlier. If anyone is interested in how much effort it takes to get the iComics comic importer to detect when new files have been dragged in, here's a presentation about it that happened earlier this year. :D youtube.com/watch?v=wCY3Gv…

@Catouberos Thanks a lot! :D

@iComicsApp That looks great!

A new manga Humble Bundle appeared today! There’s some absolute classics in there. Definitey check it out! :D humblebundle.com/books/award-wi…

@JonyIveParody Holy smokes! Not Jony Ive! Huge fan here! It's an honour! Thanks so much! :D Ah, I don't have anything like that, but I'm exploring how to do it. I think Amazon's comics have the panel coords baked in, but I'm exploring if it's possible to dynamically detect them in code.

@iComicsApp I bought this, and purchased your app to read them. Is there a way to have your app show one panel at a time like the Kindle app does? And sync across devices? (Apologies if it already does this and I missed the documentation…) Cheers.

If you're not sure what sort of comics you could be reading, literally the entire comic book series of The Walking Dead is available on Humble Bundle right now. :D humblebundle.com/books/walking-…
