I'm a woman and ex-creator on an app like this. AI matters as a productivity tool as all content platforms struggle with getting more content, but yes there's a bunch of other important things

Thanks for the insightful comment. All the above is true! C.C is an artist we recruited from a Chinese manhua app. We're reproducing and repackaging some killer tropes in Asian markets for the west

Great point - thanks!! Yes, we should put better material out there. The real value would be to help these creators make money from making comics, which is not known as the most money grabbing career, so the shortbread app site is consumer

It's a preview link that adapts to your phone screen. Our artists use this link to render the content in realtime as they create. Published stuff goes through a microservice and is standardized.
