hopefully will have a responsive (& accessible, highlightable) authoring tool prototype for this format in the coming months!

1/ Rereading @maxkriegers "Chatting with Glue" piece this morning. Still a classic. Wish there were way more visual-spatial essays around the web. I think we get hung up on calling them "comics." Comics are a distinct visual culture people believe requires drawing skills twitter.com/maxkriegers/st…

So glad you're working on that! Such a tricky situation that if folks don't know how to code the medium of the web is very limiting. Learning enough CSS, SVG & JS to make interactive visuals is non-trivial. More accessible tools certainly part of the solution.

Even with the full power of CSS, it's incredibly difficult to make these layouts responsive!! hoping to explore more soon:

(1/??) Been thinking with @glitchyowl about dynamic comic authoring for the browser. By dynamic I mean semi-interactive and responsive. By comic-for-browser I mean content laid out in scrollable narrative form. Beyond the panel grid and more serpentine. mobile.twitter.com/glitchyowl/sta

Haha, CSS is always the bane of every web dev project 😅 Such a love/hate relationship with it. This looks so cool though. Love this mockup: twitter.com/maxkriegers/st Definitely keep me in the loop

(5/??) So my hypothesis now is that responsive dynamic comics have their own layout engine: a snake simulator. As the browser window resizes, the snake stretches out to accommodate the space, while preserving the panel anchor spacings its body, and thus the meaning.
