Comic Hill

My brother, Nick Smith, is developing a very, very cool web application for reinventing the way you read web comics, Comic Hill. While only in its early stages now, the application already shows great potential and has been supported by several web comic artists. The idea is to bring together all of the web comics you read into one place, and have all of the updates presented seamlessly instead of meandering around the internet trying to find your place in the comic so you can continue reading. Even with only 4 comics on it right now, it is very convenient, and I've been using it a lot myself.

But I'm not here to boast about how awesome my brother is, even if that is completely true. I've been discussing with him a mobile version of Comic Hill, and I am going to begin working on it with him shortly. He's build his application on the Play! framework, which, from what I've read, is an agile alternative to Java webapp containers like Tomcat, and he says most of the functionality already works as a RESTful web service, so moving it to an Android application should be easy.

Oh, I should mention that I no longer have the hardware to develop for the iPhone, so I'm talking about making an Android port only; at some point in the future I may consider moving it to iPhone if I get the opportunity.
