👋

While summer is racing at full speed, Toonlio is not sitting still either. Over the past few weeks, we've seriously updated the path for both authors and readers, and essentially reassembled key parts of the platform 🤪

Here's what's new:

1️⃣ We already have 735 users, including (ta-da-da-dam!) 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ authors!!, 91 published titles and 317 episodes! 🚀

Thanks to everyone who reads, publishes, comments, and tells others about Toonlio. This is our shared achievement.

2️⃣ Getting started as an author is now much easier

We removed unnecessary steps from the initial title creation process and moved advanced settings to a separate section. Now you can quickly set up the project's foundation, upload a cover, and move on to the first episode.

3️⃣ Added a toolkit for announcing new episodes

Now authors can prepare a publication for Telegram and VK right in Toonlio: get ready-made text, a link with a tracking tag, and covers in square and horizontal formats. Copy, download, share — done 📣

4️⃣ Titles now have a "trust passport"

In the "About the work and rights" block, you can specify the type of work, AI usage, confirm rights, and add content warnings. It's easier for readers to understand what they're looking at, and for authors to honestly describe their work.

5️⃣ The reader has been significantly updated

Episodes open faster and more reliably, images adapt better to the screen, and convenient controls are back. Comments, stickers, ratings, and other additional features load only when needed: first the story itself, then everything else 📱

6️⃣ The homepage has become smarter and more useful

We improved "Continue reading," "For you" collections, new episode schedules, subscriptions, and author recommendations. We also refined progress saving and explanations for why a particular title appears in recommendations.

7️⃣ Updated the visual design and made significant improvements "under the hood"

Toonlio now has a new Aqua palette, calmer animations, and adaptive covers. At the same time, we improved search and SEO, handling of old images, CDN, episode publishing, and the platform update process itself — so fewer things break and loading is faster ⚙️

You can support your favorite authors by purchasing episodes and stickers or through the "Support the author" feature. This gives independent creators more opportunities to continue their stories, and Toonlio to further develop the platform.

Authors, send us information about yourself, new episodes, and projects — we'll tell others about you more widely 📣

And be sure to write to us about what has become more convenient and what still annoys you. It's exactly this kind of feedback that helps make Toonlio alive and progressing.

Thank you for being with us! Toonlio grows with you 🙂
