I feel like there’s about to be a lot of apps that are going to explode because of their iPhone Duo design/capabikties.
@Panels_ink is one I’ve got my eye on

Digital comics shouldn't feel like renting something you paid for.
That's one thing I like about the new Panels Store.
@Panels_ink has spent eight years building an iOS and Mac reading experience for comic fans. Now it's expanding into a full platform where readers can discover, buy, own, organize, and read comics in one place.
The important part: purchases are DRM-free.
So when you buy a comic, you actually own the file. You can keep it, move it elsewhere, or read it in another app if you want.
At the same time, Panels is creating a direct path for indie creators and publishers to reach readers who already care about digital comics.
Better discovery for readers.
More opportunities for creators.
And ownership that actually means ownership.
That’s a pretty compelling direction for digital comics.

Whoa. Panels Store won Product of the Day 🏆
We’re trying to build the right home for digital comics: buy them, own them, read them, keep them DRM-free.
Thank you to everyone who supported us today ❤️

Everyone thinks @Panels_ink is just a comic reader.
That’s the mistake.
Because what they’re actually building?
Is a direct attack on how digital content ownership works today.
For 8 years, Panels stayed in its lane:
→ Clean reading experience
→ Beautiful organization
→ A tool for people who really read comics
But behind that…
There was friction.
You had to buy comics somewhere else.
Import them.
Manage everything yourself.
It worked.
But it wasn’t seamless.
Now they’ve changed the game.
@Panels_ink isn’t just where you read anymore.
It’s where everything happens:
→ You discover
→ You buy
→ You read
→ You own
All in one flow.
No middlemen. No jumping platforms.
And here’s the part most people will overlook:
Everything is DRM-free.
Read that again.
You’re not renting your comics.
You actually own them.
You can move them. Keep them. Use them anywhere.
In today’s internet?
That’s rare.
Because let’s be honest…
Most platforms don’t sell you content.
They sell you access.
And they can take that access away anytime.
Panels is building the opposite:
→ Ownership over access
→ Freedom over lock-in
→ Experience without control games
Now zoom out.
This isn’t just about comics.
This is a test case.
If this model works here…
It can spread to everything digital.
Books. Art. Music.
Anything creators make.
Because creators no longer need to fight algorithms.
They plug into a system where:
→ Readers already exist
→ Trust is already built
→ Buying is frictionless
That’s leverage.
