ComicBase, Comic Collection App
A cross-platform companion app for managing a comic collection, on iOS and Android.
- .NET MAUI
- C#
- SQLite
- iOS
- Android
The challenge
Collectors manage large comic libraries on the desktop, but the moments that matter happen away from it: standing in a shop or at a convention, trying to remember whether an issue is already owned. Getting that catalogue onto a phone means the data has to stay usable when the venue has no usable signal.
What we built
We built the mobile companion on .NET MAUI, so one C# codebase ships to both iOS and Android and shares its models and validation with the back end rather than reimplementing them per platform. The catalogue is held locally so browsing and search stay responsive, and the app is maintained against both store review processes from a single project.
The outcome
ComicBase is published on the App Store and Google Play from one codebase, with new work landing on both platforms at once instead of being scheduled twice.
