PanelWave is an open ecosystem for creating, distributing, and experiencing dynamic graphic novels. It consists of three layers: an open JSON format specification (CC BY 4.0), an open-source Angular/TypeScript web player (MIT), and a commercial no-code SaaS CMS for professional authoring, publishing, and monetization.
PanelWave enables creators to build interactive, multilingual graphic novels with layered panels, branching narratives, audio, video, hotspots, and flexible paywalls — and export to web, PDF, PowerPoint, and video from a single source.
Creators keep 100% of their content revenue. The open format ensures no vendor lock-in.
