We are in July
Already been a month since a blog post?!
That was fast!
Any who, here is the progress update. The memento for July.
Eslend - I believe I just, right now, literally, right now, finish the design for some new upcoming characters. I will be able to push some pages out. I hope LOTS of them. No promises though.
The Tosho – I just fix something that was broken and made it better. God. As I keep programming, I get better at coding. Here is the kicker, most of the feature The Tosho is providing has now transfer over to Kommiku 2.1. Except the Discussion Features, and Revision System. I plan to add some additional features to both The Tosho and Kommiku. But these are the features that will be in The Tosho and probably not in Kommiku.
- User Uploading Chapter
- Revision System 2.0; Basically approve chapter that user upload.
- Amazon S3/Cloud Storage Upload
Kommiku – Okay. Lots of features and lots of stuff I need to work on. Did I mention lots of additional feature that I will work on in the future. Here is a list:
- Multi-page Uploading from the Button.
- New Default Skin that obviously separates itself from WordPress.
- Server-side Image resize; Resize your image to a certain width/height.
- *S3 Amazon/Cloud Storage Uploading.
- Click on Image to go to Next Page. “Right Click” on Image to Zoom In/Out.
Also, here are the new and exiting things to look forward to. These are things that are already in and are in testing:
- Api System (For beta testers and perhaps commercial use <_< OH NO!)
- FTP Image Dumping (Professional Version)
- Connect a Page to a WordPress Post
- Multiple Authors / Scanlators listing
- Index Override
- Search System
- Category System
- Directory Listing (and Url)
- More Series Information.
I think that covers it.
[Note] I will release Kommiku 2.1 when I want to release it. It feels stable now but I think it may take another month or two.
Eventually, I want to make a commercial product out of Kommiku. So there will be some feature not included in 2.1 (such as the FTP Image “Dumping” Uploader).
I have made this product free, and it is eating up a lot of my time (That is time I should be using to focus on Eslend). I already have what I need from Kommiku, and even thought I like the concept of “free”, I myself need to be compensated when I give out free stuff.
