A Forum Application for Mobile Devices?

[Johnny Blockhead]

While I was browsing the Blockland Forums, I noticed some things were hard to do on phones.
It would be very neat if someone created an application for mobiles.
I think it would encourage users to be more active and allow them to get to certain places quicker and get notifications faster.
I haven't completely thought this out, but I think it would be super neat.

lord knows we don't need that

this can be easily done - note, if anyone plans on doing this, initially set it up to use the ;wap2 extension - loads fast, simple format for parsing. maybe a system to load more than 15 posts per page? what if we could have like 50? or infinite? forget this is beautiful

edit wap2 does not load images. maybe a 'lightweight and fast' setting vs a 'slower but with formatting and pictures and stuff' option?

I was thinking of making an Android app for blockland that lets you browse the forums easier on mobile, clan manager, other suggestions I would take. But I am not 100% sure I am willing to do it yet because I am pretty busy these days. But talk to me about it and convince me it will be worth it.

I can access BL forums just fine, it's just that the graphics are weird. We don't need a separate app for it.

I once put up a topic like this (except it was in the right section)
Anyway, I think this is a fantastic idea, I have an iPhone 5 and regularly go on the forums at work, on the train etc.
Its a bitch to zoom in and out and trying to hit a page number button is hard

I would probably even pay for such application.

You'd need to pay $100 because that's the price for putting an app on the app store.

3rd party phone apps work too

Note that if I made this it would only be for android users. I am not willing to pay for a developer's license from Apple

All Badspot has to do is install a mod on the forum called "Tapatalk" and then that can be used on phones/tablets.

Or we could suggest that baddy make a mobile version for this forum.
