Graphicly

Graphicly was a digital-comics and e-book distribution and self-publishing platform, founded around 2009 in Austin, Texas, that let independent creators and publishers convert their work and distribute it across major reading platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple iBooks, Barnes & Noble Nook, and Google Play. Backed by 500 Startups (500 Global) among other investors, the company was acquired by Blurb in 2014 and its distribution service was subsequently discontinued. The graphicly.com domain no longer serves a live product, and the company exposes no public developer portal, documentation, or API surface. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network for portfolio-graph and historical reference; enrichment found no live API, SDK, event, or security surface to harvest.

Graphicly is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Digital Comics, E-Books, Self-Publishing, and Content Distribution.
