Suggestion: phone app

Postby Civitatem Mundus » Wed Mar 14, 2018 4:01 am

Have we/admin/ect considered a phone app? It could have a simple user interface where home screen is the short summary of how our country is doing and/or current WA topics, and in the top corner with a scrolling sidebar could include the things like the forum, issues, notices, ect. I personally would find this very handy.

That's a good idea, but I'm sure the powers that be will find a suitable justification for not doing so.
Hello!
This nation is a convoluted shithole because I don't know how to make it much of anything else.
An observation: Most people with low self-esteem have earned it.
O.O.C.: I don't know how most of this works yet, and sometimes I just don't want to. Any other time, feel free to send a telegram.

Like user made ones already existing? (don't ask me which I don't know)

This is all you got. An excellent app, but for Android only. I don't believe the staff have any plans for an official app.
James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

Users are welcome to create apps, but there won't be one coming from our admins. There are perfectly adequate Android apps from users as mentioned above. As for Apple, well, they make things harder. You have to pay them to get in the Apple Store, and so far we haven't had any volunteer developers willing to both design and pay for an app.

We recognize that our mobile readers will only grow in future, and [violet] is taking steps to make the site more mobile friendly all the time.

Are you volunteering to develop an app? Because you obviously know what's involved if you're ready to throw us under the bus. It's such a trivial thing, right? Have at it.

Would I be allowed to put my own ads on it if I were to make one?

If you are using Chrome on your phone you can easily create a web-app, therfore having a phoneapp for Nationstates.

I use this technique for every site i want to have a personal app for.
