Thread "To all comic fans, I've created a tool for you: CaptionMash" in forum "Comic Talk and General Discussion *"

Posted at 5:11PM, Nov. 22, 2010

Hi there, I'm a software developer who is a big fan of comics. I've built a web application that basically lets people add captions / speech bubbles to images.

Here, check these examples to see for yourself:

A static caption
A single image, multiframe caption
A multi-image caption

You can also add HTML buttons to your web page and let any visitor to add captions to your webcomic. (Like Dilbert.com comic creation, but cooler). You can visit this example page to see those buttons in action:

HTML Button example

Please go check CaptionMash out and let me know what I can add more to serve comic artists community better.

I'll be following this thread so feel free to ask any questions.

Hi.

It's not soooo great an idea to spam the forum of a site with a post about your own funky new comic service.

Better to contact the admins of the site about it first and get us to advise you on were to post about stuff like that.

Something like this would probably be good to talk to our parent company Wowio about.

Actually I tried to email info@drunkduck.com / Info@drunkduck.com but only a delivery error returned. This site's contact email isn't working so I created this thread. Let me find a way to talk to Wowio then.

Thanks for the response.

If you don't find a way I'll e-mail Wowio about it when I get home.

I'd love something like this as a feature of the site here :)

I just submitted a contact form at Wowio website, let's wait and see. Thanks for your help though.

I've e-mailed Wowio about it for you. this stuff looks useful.

Wow man thanks for your help. I actually had low expectations about the contact form, as it was kind of small and had little fonts. It made me feel like less of a man when I filled that.

"info@drunkduck.com" hasn't worked for years, which is a relic from the previous owners of the site. Wowio is in the middle of the process of redesigning the site so I'm confident that this issue will be solved relatively soon.

Let me be the first to say I'll be using this.

Posted at 12:11PM, Nov. 23, 2010

Cool, let me know if you find any bugs or request any features.

Posted at 1:11PM, Nov. 23, 2010
