I’m super excited about the new thumbnail-grid layout on Patreon. Paired with tags, comics artists — and anyone else presenting serial content on Patreon — can give backers the the tools to view this content easily. After I filter the display to the storyline I want to read, for example, I can easily click each of the pages for an extra-large, very readable image. And I can read the entire thing without waiting for new pages to load or navigating a long-scrolling list.
I’m still waiting to see the option to display the filtered results in ascending/descending order, but this is a huge step in the right direction.
If you’re doing comics — or any other serial work — it might be a good idea to record a video walkthru (or at least an explanatory blog post) to explain this functionality. It may not be intuitive to some folks. But once they catch on, I think they’re going to be as excited about this as I am.
