Webcomic SPA.

Comicus in development

Development/Implementaion Notes:

Features (and Ideas)

• Site is a SPA (Single Page Application) built with Flux/React.
• Comics JSON built with PHP (or statically and uploaded) from image filenames.
• Use History for pretty URLs (include htaccess for that support).
• Commentary: Support for markdown commentary per comic.

Eventually

• Web admin -- A lot that goes with this... May not ever happen (PHP sucks).
• Might have an offline app that uploads the images to the comics/ folder, automatically encoding the filename. Perhaps using node-webkit.

Config Options

• Start at: beginning or end
• Archive: thumbnail or list or cover (no archive, show cover/first page)

Image Filename Format

Encode most info in filename:

0001_i2zukxyp_Storyline+or+Comic+Name_Comic+or+Issue+Title.jpg

SORT_ORDER '' PUBLISH_TIMESTAMP '' STORYLINE '_' TITLE

Commentary would need the same first two segments?

0001_i2zukxyp.md

or

0001_i2zukxyp_Commentary+Title.md
