The name says it all.
I thought this idea had been posted before but I could not find it.
It seems to me most people here are computer experts, people who like computers and like having computer related gadgets.
Why not make an app?
Halfbakery on my phone works but is slow and not good enough.
Probably
an app would cost money. Possibly it could make money.
Possibly some halfbakers would join in on the investment.
I don't know how these things work, but many halfbakers do.
Is there a specific reason there is no app and can this reason be circumnavigated ? [sp?]
I would really like to have this app (android).
Would you?
(sorry if my searching was inadequate and this has already been discussed)
This might work for you...

Have you tried our Value Menu yet ? <link> |
|
| |
Can you use HB on a mobile web-browser already? Yep. |
|
| |
Would the experience be a little bit nicer with an app? absolutely. |
|
| |
There are only about 3 websites that I visit on my phone: HB, facebook and reddit. Reddit and facebook already have apps which are great. Also having a HB app would very nice. |
|
| |
Thanks for the input. I'll admit that a big part of wanting this app is that I just want to see that quasant in between my facebook and gmail apps. |
|
| |
We (us?) Apple People don't know or care how it works. We just want it to look nice and cute. |
|
| |
Yes, but through our insane fandom, as of today Apple Corp. has a market capitalization equal to Exxon - the largest in the world. Although I admit I'm not sure what a "quasant" is. |
|
| |
A mobile HB app could present us with all manner
of interesting possibilities. An easily customisable
views panel, advanced searches, an improved
annotation interface, an indication of which ideas
have had more annotations/links since the last time
you looked, per'aps in real time. Automatically
updated home screen. And it would look pretty. I'm
for it, but have zero expertise to make it. Bun
anyway [+] |
|
| |
Quasant = thing in the top left corner of this webpage, no? |
|
| |
Yes, I'm always in doubt how to spell it so I settled for this, I think it looks nice. |
|
| |
Don't be in doubt - try the correct spelling instead!
But no croissant from me I'm afraid... |
|
| |
Just for the record, since nobody's mentioned them yet,
I'm on HB on my Ipad (original flavor) and it works just
fine. I, too, fail to see how a special app would improve
my Halfbaking experience. |
|
| |
Dollars to donuts that the naysayers would use this app if/when it exists. |
|
| |
I can think of at least one halfbaker who has the ability of making this app. If that person wants to get the ball rolling with a 'kickstarter' I'll happily make a contribution. |
|
| |
OK, whatever you want to call yourself, you're going to use it. |
|
| |
Being almost entirely ignorant of this stuff, I don't know
what IOS is or how it makes my Magical Glowing Picture
Box any different from other devices, but thanks for
setting me straight, anyway. |
|
| |
Cool. I suppose I could have guessed that. I know a little
about PC stuff, but not much about Apple stuff (beyond
that when I turn it on, it does what I want it to do without
giving me a whole bunch of bullshit, which is why the next
computer I buy and every one after will be a Mac). |
|
| |
[21] you've tested it on loads of systems. Do any of
them do text wrap? Mine doesn't, and zooming in
and scrolling the screen around is annoying. An app
would have text wrap, so there's a plus in itself,
unless someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong? |
|
| |
I'm using Dolphin browser on android and it fits the text of HB (wraps the text) into the screen after you zoom. |
|
| |
Maybe I just need a new browser... |
|
| |
Dolphin is OK. I got it because of the positive reviews at the android marketplace. I haven't tried any of the other browsers except the one that came installed with the phone. |
|
| |
Cheers [21], appreciate the info. |
