FAQ
Is this a feed-based app?
No. It’s built as a library: series navigation, format filters, and a personal shelf. The goal is depth and reference, not scrolling.
Do users own what they buy?
Users can retain access inside their account and re-download what they purchased. You control the policy and the platform rules.
How do free and paid membership work?
Free membership gives entry and selected content. Paid tiers unlock deeper archives and ongoing releases. Tiers are transparent and cancellable.
Can I add more series beyond Working With Shadow?
Yes. The library structure supports multiple collections. The UI stays consistent: Series → Volumes → Formats.
