I’ve updated my old desktop-based webcomic viewer. The new version is related to the old one in name only. It uses completely different technologies and supports a different set of comics.
It is a purely client-side HTML and javascript web application. There are no cookies or server side storage of any kind – everything is stored in your browsers local cache. This means that your subscriptions and settings aren’t accessible on other computers or other browsers (in this first version at least). So make sure you stick to one computer and one browser when reading comics.
All the comics come from either the Darkgate Comic Slurper, phpGrabComics or straight from the comic author’s sites. If a comic’s author provides a feed, it’s relatively easy to add a their comic so feel free to send requests to add new comics. Some of the comics you can subscribe to aren’t appropriate for all ages, consider yourself warned. Now go read some comics and let me know what you think.

It’s a nice app but doesn’t work on the iPad.
Also, neither does your blog, because of the captcha. It’s horrifically broken and automatically de-focuses the text field (even on desktop browsers) which means even in Chrome I have to write the captcha somewhere else and rapidly paste it in. Who knows how many comments have been abandonned because of this!\
(when it deselects the captcha field it automatically selects the text field, I won’t erase what I end up pasting in too slow: )
Okay, I’ve discovered that TABBING into the next field works fine, but clicking it will just go haywire. /very/ odd.
