Django based web app to enable registered users to define custom comic strips, request new features and report bugs. Also includes a user forum for general discussion, productivity charts to indicate developer work rates and finally documentation for developers who wish to contribute. This site has been deployed on Heroku: i-comic.herokuapp.com

The app was developed using web framework Django alongside Python, using its Model-View-Template structure. Productivity charts are visualised using JavaScript libraries Chartist.js and moment.js. Dynamic front end elements were implemented using jQuery. For device responsiveness Bootstrap is employed.

• Custom Comic Strip: Users can define their own personal comic strips by adding self authored images and narrative
• Tickets: Raise requests for new features or raise bugs. Upvote to speed up the development of a solution and comment on individual tickets
• Forum: Users can raise their own topics for discussion and discuss each topic at leisure
• Productivity: Gain an overall insight in to productivity via charts showing tickets raised over time

A five colour palette was generated using colormind.io to ensure proper colour coordination. Full details in palette.txt

Google Fonts: "Permanent Marker" (major headings), "Kalam" (sub headings and buttons), "Arsenal" (body text). Cursive heading fonts used to reflect a comic book style.
