Status: live and browsable at comicke.com; active development, selling not enabled. The application is real and substantial — a full creation app with auth, payments, storage, and four image providers. The apex now serves the Cloudflare Worker build directly (the earlier 500 came from a stale, broken Pages deployment holding the domain). Checkout is wired via Polar but live selling is intentionally not enabled yet. Source is private.
An AI comic and book maker. Describe a scene, choose an image provider, and the app generates comic-book panels; you then assemble them into projects, edit, and export. Built to make sequential-art creation as fast as writing a prompt.
What’s Built
- Creation flow — scene description → provider selection → generated comic panel → stored to object storage → assembled into editable, exportable projects.
- Four image providers — Gemini, Fal, Replicate, and Hugging Face, selectable per generation.
- Real app infrastructure — custom auth (PBKDF2), Polar payments, Resend transactional email, and R2 object storage, all behind a typed app surface.
- Recent direction — “Fractal Comics” infinite-zoom storytelling (recursive outpainting) landed recently, pointing the product toward open-ended, explorable narratives; the most recent work hardened the Cloudflare Workers deploy path (CI + push-to-deploy, replacing a broken Pages build).
Technical Stack
- Framework: TanStack Start + React 19 + Vite, deployed on Cloudflare Workers
- Data: PostgreSQL via Drizzle ORM
- Auth: custom PBKDF2
- Storage: Cloudflare R2 (generated panels & project assets)
- Payments / email: Polar · Resend
- Image generation: Gemini · Fal · Replicate · Hugging Face
What’s Needed For This Entry To Tighten
- The public demo at
comicke.comis now live (apex served by the Cloudflare Worker). - Remaining gap: the source is private, so a public, inspectable artifact would let the implementation be evaluated without private access.
