As a storyteller, I’ve always faced the same frustrating wall: I have countless worlds, scripts, and characters in my head, but my drawing skills (and availability) just couldn't keep up.
For years, I dreamed of a place where anyone could bring a manga, webtoon, or novel to life without technical barriers or restrictive publisher filters. Since it didn't exist, I decided to build it alone. It’s called Whatoon, and I just launched the beta.
I made a super quick video to show you how the platform and the built-in AI Assist studio work.
What makes it different?
Everyone can be a creator!
Total Publishing Freedom (With Common Sense): No pre-validation filters or publisher censorship based on tastes. You write and publish instantly. Of course, strict terms of service are in place to keep the platform safe: no illegal content, no extreme gore, and explicit content must be properly tagged for adult audiences.
Built-in AI Assist Studio: Designed specifically to help writers and creators bridge the gap between imagination and visuals.
Ethical & Transparent: Traditional art is valuable and inimitable. That's why every AI-assisted work gets a clear, dedicated label. No hidden stuff, full transparency for readers.
Creator-First Revenue: Independent artists deserve the lion's share. Creators keep 80% of their royalties, which is way higher than traditional platforms. And I am thinking of an advantageous tier for traditional artists
Free Publishing & Freemium AI Tools: Publishing and reading on the platform is 100% free. Creating an account gives free keys (credits) to test and use the AI Assist studio. While heavy AI generation relies on a credit system to cover server costs, early members get special perks to keep creating for free.
I am actively looking for amateur authors, scriptwriters, and digital artists to test the platform, break things, and tell me what features you want next.
Check out the short video attached to see the UI and some examples of what the tool can do. I'd love to get your honest feedback in the comments, and if you want to join the journey, come hang out at whatoon
What do you think of the concept? Let's chat!
For indie creators publishing #webtoons, #manga, or #webnovels, getting started with your first chapter, it takes just 60 seconds.
Here’s a quick look at how it works on Whatoon.
(forgive the accent)
I always wanted to make a webtoon. Learned to draw. Learned to write. Never found the time, and no platform felt like mine to publish on.
So I built my own.
Whatoon.com : manga, webtoon & novels by indies. Readers tip directly, creators cash out. No middleman, no algorithm hiding your work.
I think AI video is being built backwards.
Everyone is adding more models, more options, more chaos.
Meanwhile, adoption is stalling, complexity is increasing, and pipelines are getting tangled.
What I really like me with Krokut is how it runs production like a real studio.
You start with an idea, then the pipeline takes over. Script, scenes, storyboard, shots, sound, render. One step at a time. Nothing moves forward until it makes sense.
I was so annoyed by some unethical generative AI video platforms that I decided to create my own. Since then, I don't spend a day without creating a short animation! It's still under construction, but everyone is telling me to make it public.
