ThreeTwo!
ThreeTwo!
is a comic book curation app.
It aims to help you organize your comic book collection and automate various aspects of acquiring new comic books.
It is a culmination of ideas I developed over the past couple of years using various pieces of software to achieve the stated goal of curating comic books. It borrows heavily from Mylar, Ubooquity, ComicRack, Calibre and many other software used to manage comic book collections.
Philosophy
Curation is a disease of the mind, albeit a disease with a purpose. You want to be able to peruse your collection, and enjoy the process of doing so.
Discovery
The first tenet of ThreeTwo!
is discovery–the act of importing comics from your OS, finding new comic to read or just searching through your collection for a comic that sparks nostalgia. Discovery is important, both from a technical perspective, so that ThreeTwo!
can infer metadata from your collection, as well as from a curatorial standpoint, you want to keep track of what you are reading, or what you want to be reading.
Curation
ThreeTwo!
takes curation seriously, and thusly offers ComicVine scraping, and other means of applying/extending the comic metadata. This is so that your collection can truly shine, and actually help in discovering or rediscovering comics.
Acquisition
Once you have added to your list of wanted comics, you can rely on ThreeTwo!
's first-class support for DC++
via AirDC++
to acquire them. Just configure your AirDC++
host, hub information and you are golden.
Consumption

through apps on your mobile devices, like Panels
