I made a widget for myself so that I can get my favorite comic strips on the desktop. It turned out pretty nice so I decided to package it and upload it to devel.

The widget currently shows xkcd, Dilbert and Sinfest comics.

Not many features really. simple next/previous strip, switch comic, scroll down/up on widgets that are tall, and link to view the current comic strip in the browser.

At this moment I've only tested the current release on my own N900, so I'm interested to see if it works properly for others. It's available in (WARNING: Here be dragons!) extras-devel.

If you are likely to use the application, but feel it's missing your favorite comic, feel free to suggest it, and I'll see what I can do.

Bug reports and feature requests are also welcome.

known issues
  • widget will become invisible after reboot (remove and add widget to fix after reboot)
  • updating to the latest comic for the first time, or after a long pause in usage can take a long time

planned features
  • moar comics!
  • background preloading of comics near the current one, to speed up browsing
