Alvaro Montoro on February 26, 2022

Fun project, I was expecting the actual comics to be in CSS so was so confused 🤣

One minor thing that I noticed, I pressed the > arrow thinking it would show me another item and obviously it didn't as it was the latest. Perhaps remove those buttons from view when you are at the start or the end just to make that less confusing (I thought the site was broken for a second!)

Other than that, I am looking forward to seeing the comics, the CSS superheroes one was clever! ❤🦄

The actual comics are in CSS (link below the image). But for compatibility reasons, I chose to have them as webp/PNG, but the originals are CSS.

I will look into the buttons thing. That's a good catch. Maybe i can make them invisible when we are in the first/last one.

Nice! Its a good project to channel the things you enjoy. 🙌

I would recommend ko-fi instead of Patreon, they charge 0% fees on donations, they don't ask for excessive info on signup, and the UI is straightforward.

I dabble with comics also, my last post was about getting XKCD in the terminal.

Since your website looks kind of similar, I guess it will work with minimum changes too! 😉

I wish you success with it! 🚀

Interesting idea. I can't create one due to the static nature of the site, but i could add a third-party one like disqus.

Great work man! I must confess, however, I feel more can be done and in general be implemented for more gains for all parties.

This is so amazing! I really enjoyed watching the time-lapse and seeing it transform into a comic strip.

You sir are a CSS wizard.
