@TerryHancock@realsocial.life @thevhswizard@retro.pizza I don't know what the authors need or have come to expect. But I can answer as a reader: – most formats won't fit in a federated post, so it must work as a standalone website without any auth etc. – simple and reliable navigation between episodes of a single title (which an author can have multiple of, and which is likely ongoing) – a mobile-friendly UI that can accommodate different page formats and isn't ridiculously slow. – some sort of a recommendation system, yes, fedi hates an algo, but even manual shout-outs of eachother can go a long way. Of more technical concerns: – if it's going to be randomly boosted onto people's timelines, those boosts will probably work better if the booster can pick something specific as a preview, i.e. we're potentially looking at every panel being a separate "post" somehow. – it'll be a killer feature if it's able to somehow have "members-only" content with a time unlock for everyone else. then add Patreon integration and everyone's existing patrons can suddenly read with something a bit more usable than a PDF reader (or worse, Patreon UI). I'm not sure if AP allows for posts to change visibility, but being a paying member might be incentive enough to just visit the website.
