Comic Uploading in Leaflet

With the comic-hosting industry chaos going on, Leaflet (@leaflet.pub) offered refuge for webtoon and webcomic artists for their works.

So I tried uploading. And here are some of my observations..

For Creators

• For a creator, it's easy to use. Very light-weight. Easy to upload pages and compose descriptions and everything.
• There are multiple layouts in terms of using the gallery, as seen in the previous upload. Although I don't know the limit of images uploaded. WebToons can go over 50-60 panels in one chapter.
• When you're inside a post, I haven't seen a setting where you can filter the bottom navigation of the comic "episode". It defaults on your last older post. Not on your previous comic episode. Even if you already set a filter by tag in the post settings. See images below.
• The only solution I see for this (for now) is, after reading an episode, you get back to homepage - which is strenuous to do repeatedly.
• If you have an existing library of comics to upload here, there's no way of changing of order of chapters or episode when you upload them. Not now at least.
• With that being said, if you upload daily, the problem is you don't want your inbox to be spammed. I don't know if there's a frequency of weekly summary option in email newsletters. Although their latest update on paid features addresses that.

For Readers

• For a reader, it's easy to use as well. The friction I can see here is, if they want to follow a comic or a creator, they need an email or an ATmosphere account. Email subscription will be enabled when the author/artist availed it via paid feature. RSS is available as well.
• For a reader, I don't know yet if there's a feature where you can see chapter lists, where you can skip and skim thru over a certain chapter or episode.
• For a reader, I don't know if their comment on a comic episode will show on their Bluesky account or everywhere in the ATmosphere.
• For a reader, if you paused reading and exit, you need to search back where you started, there's no "continue where you left".
• For a reader, approach this as primarily a blog platform, so some QoL from webcomic platforms will be different here.
• I don't know if there will be a bookmarks feature.

While it isn't one-size-fits-all, it's good to know that there are options sprouting out for every creative out there.

Hopefully, we'll see in future updates though if there will be changes.

Also, here is a sample test link if you want to share something from around the web. Like a Patreon or a website or video or something.

I don't know yet if you can edit the thumbnail image of an external link.
