Independent comics are hard to publish, discover, and follow
Independent webcomic creators struggle to find a publishing option that feels usable and supports their content and values. Readers, meanwhile, have trouble discovering complete series and keeping up with comics scattered across creator websites and social platforms. A small product could help by improving publishing and discovery without requiring creators to abandon their existing sites, though selling, fulfillment, and digital-library management are adjacent problems rather than the core opportunity.
For independent webcomic creators and readers. Mentioned from Nov 2023 to Sep 2026 on Bluesky.
