What platform?

I'm a fairly competent and willing to do something like this. Mind you, the site itself needs to have some kind of API into which I can hook to make the interface work. There exist such forum apps but if you want a Forkheads exclusive app to support our nonsense I need MOAR

We have an RSS feed for the forum, right?

.... at least I think we have.

Yes.

I get your posts on my keyboard.

It would still be nice to have a mobile version. One where images, youtube embeds, etc. and all the other junk is turned off to keep data usage down.

>FH without all the images and shenanigans.

So basically, you want Diet FH, with only 10% of the fun.

Well ideally they'd be togglable. But a mode with low data usage would be nice for those of us who are, uh, restricted in their access.

That being said, at this point in time I don't really care about this idea at all. Don't expect anything constructive from me.

I don't get all these people being obsessed with mobiles when tablets are starting to become almost as expensive as full laptops.

You know who's able to do random shit during classes? Me because I take my notes on Word on my laptop.

You know who gets told to "shut it down and put it away"? EVERYONE who's using an iphone or a tablet :V

i think the only valid platform would be android (since apple won't allow any 18+ apps which is exactly what a forkheads app would be)

Post subject:  Re: We need this

Zweihart has a valid point but I have a compromise.

We can trust ourselves, basically. If we make an AJAX interface for the browser, or even a desktop WIN32/POSIX executable (perhaps in a common platform like Python) that interfaced the same XML/JSON serving backend with a better feature set—say real time chat, better thread navigation, real time display of active users and activity—then adding a mobile app to the client list would be a simple matter that I would hope go uncontested if we had the developers to handle everything without slowing down or foregoing one of the more attractive/prominent clients.

So the proposal is basically to detach the forum from the rendering of pages and simply send data using an API we'd probably have to tailor to our specific wants and use the forum as an authentication system which would grant session tokens to clients allowing access such that emulates native PHPBB.

Thoughts?
