Description

XKCD Reader — the entire archive on your wrist.

Over 3,000 XKCDs, pulled on demand. The app streams today's comic when you launch it. Press SELECT to roll a random strip from the full archive. UP / DOWN scroll the comic panel-by-panel — hold either button for smooth scrolling through tall strips (Climate Timeline, Timeghost…) or wide multi-panel ones (Regex Golf, Life Goals). Long-press SELECT or shake your wrist to reveal the alt-text — the hover-text joke Randall hides behind every comic. BACK exits.

Your phone handles the heavy lifting: it fetches the XKCD JSON metadata and PNG, bilinear-resizes to match your Pebble's resolution, Floyd-Steinberg dithers into crisp monochrome line art, then streams the bitmap over AppMessage. Wide comics auto-scroll horizontally, tall ones vertically, so text stays legible instead of getting squished into 200 pixels.
