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! 😁

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/fx…

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/fx… In the meantime, I’m looking at iOS widgets. :D

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=wCY3Gv8c…

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)

Another quick update. I’m working on completely redesigning the controls in the reader for iComics 2. I want to make it look more modern, as well as more functional. I’ll post the finished design when I’m happy with it. :D

Another quick update for iComics 2. I've created a completely new page scroller from scratch. Unlike the one in iComics 1, this one dynamically builds the ordering of pages on the fly. This should make dual page spread a possibility. Finally. 😁

On that note; Hello World! 😁 iComics 2 dev has been underway for the last few weeks and it’s slowly taking the shape of an app now. :D I’ll hopefully have more to share soon. :)

Happy Free Comic Book Day! While the physical event sadly isn't happening this year, there's no reason why digital can't go on! As has been tradition, iComics is free for the next 24 hours. Enjoy! apps.apple.com/app/icomics/i…

If anyone else is experiencing crashes on launch, I’ve created a new test build that hopefully fixes it. Please give it a try and let me know. :) testflight.apple.com/join/fx… I’d like to have all these crashes nailed down before I submit the next release.

Yay! We had almost 20,000 updates inside a day. Great to see people are still enjoying the app! 😁 For the folks reporting a crash on launch, thanks for that! I’ve checked the crash logs and have prepared a new beta. Link will be up when Apple approves it.

Okay, the Xbox/PS4 version of iComics (Also some other bug fixes) is live on TestFlight. This is hopefully the last beta build before I send it to the App Store. Please test it out and let me know if you find any show-stopping bugs. :D testflight.apple.com/join/fx…

Talk about a blast from the past! I randomly remembered the Jaku iComics icon last week and now that iOS supports alternate icons, I contacted @ultratiem and asked if he’d be down for doing this! I’m so thrilled that he was! It looks amazing! :D nitter.cf/ultratiem/status/12256…
