Maybe you have noticed a small bar below the previous version of this webcomic site and others around. That bar usually displays three text options like “Tag Page | Go to Tag | Clear” (ComicPress) or “Bookmark | Return | Clear” (Webcomic). This little bar allows you to “bookmark” the page you’re reading, so you can stop reading, do your business, and resume the reading from the page you bookmarked on.
Poor little thing...
But the usual not-ideal placement of that bar and its non-obvious usefulness makes that just a few readers ever use it, or even notice it.
That’s really unfortunate, as I find those tools really useful when you’re a new reader trying to catch up through the archive of a webcomic. So I decided to create my own version of those bookmark tools.
Visual Bookmark
Visual Bookmark in all its states
The idea behind Visual Bookmark is to emulate as close as possible what you would be able to do with a comic printed on paper. As you can see in the image above (or browsing through the Robomeks pages) the top right corner of each page is now slightly bent. If you place your mouse over it it’ll bend totally, and will revert back if you move your mouse away. To bookmark that page simply click on that corner. Once you do so, any other page will show a little icon besides that corner that reads “go”. Clicking that icon will bring you back to the page you bookmarked. To remove the bookmark simply go to the bookmarked page and click the bent corner again. Bookmarking a page removes the previous bookmark automatically.
