"Podcasts app" for serial webfiction and webcomics.

Web Fiction

This app aims to be a podcast-like experience for reading serial publications on the web.

Many excellent books and webcomics are being published openly on the web today. Most of those are published one chapter at a time. It's awesome that authors are self-publishing, but this format makes it hard to keep track of your progress.

The system will scan sources to create a table of contents for each book. It will notify subscribers, and keep track of their reading progress.
