It's #PortfolioDay and if you're a comic creator who finds themselves without a portfolio, you can put together one real quick on bindings.app like this incredible one from icon @kellysue.bsky.social:

The beta is exceeding our expectations. Expect more announced publishers on the platform shortly, and a bundle more of your favorites announced soon. If you need an invite ask around!
Thank you everyone for your feedback. We're incredibly motivated by how excited everyone is.
It's a picture of the best digital comic store.
New update on app stores. More on that shortly!

P.S. We have so much work to do! 😭
Sweet doesn't take VC money. We don't have an AI play (AI comics are banned from our platforms). We hate NFTs (or whatever you want to call them) and crypto. We are focused on building a long-term business. ❤️We love you❤️. Thank you for comics.
And thanks for coming to our TEDx Poughkeepsie talk.
We are ~invested~ in making digital comic infrastructure better for everyone in comics. We don't claim to have the answers but we have ideas and we are incredibly grateful to the people whom have lended us their support like @kierongillen.bsky.social @kellysue.bsky.social @readtinyonion.bsky.social
Next month, things get even crazier as we reveal our final (very secret) project. Project Emerald. How 2000s Microsoft does that codename sound? Here is a generic picture of an emerald from Wikipedia.
This week is another big publisher on @sweetshop.app then we're just launching publishers and features. We are adding more people this week and soon you'll be able to invite your own friends in with our big iOS and Android updates this week which have a ton of fixes and polish.
We continue to invest in making Bindings the bridge to marketing -> buying physical comics and have seen great success with creators like @henrybarajas.bsky.social using it to market his fantastic Death To Pachuco succesfully. bindings.app/read/2Ff3kNs7
In February, we announced shortened URLs for shelf subscribers to bindings.app. Long requested, customers could now have named URLs. As well as change their banners.
Then in January 2025, we let the first folks into @sweetshop.app. The reviews we've received for just the beta have been outstanding.
That same month we started the review process with , which took us on a two month journey behind the scenes delaying all the plans. So we kept polishing the releases.
We are launching most of those publishers in the next 2 months, and we have many more unannounced that are *super dope*.
In November 2025, we opened up the waiting list and shared what @sweetshop.app would start with. In-App Purchases, Android & iOS, offline reading and DRM-Free backups for publishers whom supported it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaQk...
We *THEN* add more features to Bindings like link re-ordering and better performance handling. We launched our Patreon and Kickstarter widgets which connect directly to those projects. (Shout out @ircbpodcast.com)
We then announced the amazing @idwpublishing.com would be joining @sweetshop.app. They will be launching this week and we couldn't be happier to have them. What an epic run they're on recently with great work from @patrickhorvath.bsky.social, @jacksonlanzing.bsky.social and Colin Kelly.
In March 2025, we launched Shelves on Bindings. It allowed comic creators not just to market/preview their books but their whole catalogs. Here's Improper Books bindings.app/shelf/N1iHmhWF. Here's @pornsak.bsky.social bindings.app/shelf/7n5U312O.
We also teased @sweetshop.app (sweetshop.app) with the announcement that @imagecomics.com will have day and date releases day one on our platform. Next to Kindle, Apple & Google, we remain the *only* comic book store you can get day and date releases of new Image books.
In January 2025, we launched findyourcomic.store. Community driven, but moderated by us, its popularity continues to rise and is now the default comic store finder around the world for @viz.com, @imagecomics.com and @darkhorse.com's websites. We've had 1000 reports including Kyiv & The Phillipines.
In November of 2024 we launched our creator marketing tool bindings.app. Used by popular creators like @kierongillen.bsky.social bindings.app/shelf/1FLv6kLb and @kellysue.bsky.social bindings.app/shelf/h7HLHZYr. It continues to grow as the new link for your bio.
Sweet is now 2, and it feels like we're just getting started. Here's how's it's going. 🧵
(let's call this our bloviated state of the union)
A good day to remind everyone @sweetshop.app accepts no VC money, no AI comics, no AI translations, and would never use our publisher nor creators work to train generative AI (and pay them pennies for it).

Hi! I'm Kiki, a queer disabled comic artist. 🥰
Have you read our comic, Kuro Shouri? It started in 2005 and is inspired by 90s shonen classics! It's about two teens who, while they struggle to deal with each other, are being hunted by demons from another world!

Henry used bindings.app like a champ.
We're so grateful to have his talent on Bindings, using it like a boss, and to sell his great books on @sweetshop.app.
