CLUSTER XKCD-COMICS-OFFLINE · 4 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-07-28

xkcd comic reader apps

This cluster consists of apps for browsing and reading xkcd comics, including one general comics-wiki browser and three xkcd-specific clients across web, mobile, and desktop. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from, with only three dated entries and most members undated. Traction leaders all show zero stars, so no single product stands out on activity signal.

ENTRY TIMELINE

JUL 2015: 1MAR 2023: 1JUN 2023: 1AUG 2026: 1
JUL 2015AUG 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 4 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
