AveComics lets you share previews on facebbok, on your own blog and put their viewer anywhere. You also get 2 reading modes : one for smartphones and one for big screens that smartly adjusts it zooming factor/path to the screen size.
This is one of the main critics I would have with your preview. The zooming is not optimal, making some texts hard to read….and yet the reading is all it is about…
Otherwise, very slick.
Nice.
@aquaticmatt Thanks for the feedback! We are updating the technology rapidly – in fact last night we added a couple of features. As soon as Ron can get to it, he will swap out this code with the new one. We added – sharing and fullscreen (which should help with the zooming piece). It is also not flash, so techincally it should work on a smartphone, but its not optimized for that yet.
Thanks again!
Love the embedded widget. A great way to distribute graphic goodness everywhere.
The only problem I’m having is that it’s virtually impossible to read it – even when I zoom in to a section. It’s just too small.
A saving grace is the “Check out the full series, The Grave Doug Freshley on Graphicly” link which lets me see the full sized version.
@jdherman When you zoom in the type size is not really any different than what we use in an article on iFanboy. Are you zooming in all the way?
@jdherman I just updated the widget so you can now go Fullscreen with the comic in a new window
