Lameness (http://thisisthecomic.heroku.com/)

it's a webcomic written in Ruby on Rails (today. it honestly only took a few hours to set all this up, which includes multitasking a billion things on the computer for the first two and then spending the rest coding + reading documentation. Rails is amazing).

enjoy.

Mitsu just sent me a sketch. It's updated and I'm working on the site in general.

Enjoy, guys.

EDIT: I just checked this from my phone, and I see what Dio's talking about now. That's not showing up from my lappy, though, so apparently it's readin' my cookies. I've got everything on my disk, so if anyone could recommend a good free host with PHP support, I'd be all ears. 000webhost is just rather distasteful.

I'm using that one. :P It works fine, but I just get a bad feeling from it in general. Y'know, like how they spend over an hour "reviewing" the eight files of my webcomic.

It took a while for me too, but once you get the site up and running everything is fine. I can update my webcomic now at any time and it'll instantly reflect the changes.

Also the dog on the page with the kid reminds me of the webcomic "Brink"

*updates first post*

in case you were wondering, Heroku is an amazing host. Ruby on Rails <3

I never could Heroku get running right. :/

Apparently everyone loves to use OS X as the "ideal" Ruby on Rails platform, so it literally only took me


*download and install git separately, not an issue*
sudo gem update rails
sudo gem install heroku
rails thisisthecomic
cd thisisthecomic
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
*work on code*
git push heroku
heroku rake db:migrate
*add comics to database*

Which is relatively little.

EDIT:
*finishes snazzy iphone version* http://thisisthecomic.heroku.com/comics/iphone/2 It auto-detects the iPhone, but you can view it in all it's hugeness there. (note that it has fancy WebKit gradients that you won't see in a non-WebKit browser)

Actually, I can see the gradients.

Then you're using a WebKit-based browser.
