Just that: an optimized mobile Halfbakery.
Oh and twitter access for comments.
Oh and perhaps a little Java Midlet (J2ME application) would also be great.

I know there's a lo-fi version of the halfbakery, but I can't recall the URL for it. |
|
|
Thanks, [zen]. Also take note that hb's filter thingy supports RSS. |
|

From what I understand about twitter, I'd have to either post all halfbakery annotations and comments as twitter posts - and you'd get all of them, indiscriminately - or create a separate twitter user identity for each halfbakery user who wants to follow submissions. Both seem a bit excessive. Am I missing something? |

I've looked at & anno'd the 1/2B on my phone before. A lot of scrolling, but no big problems, I thought. |
|
|
Everywhere is horrible except here. Why do all the other places have to have such poncy, resource-eating crap all over them? No, this place is fantastically well designed, and i've used it on a mobile with no probs at all apart from people telling me i should get a life, which i already know is a problem. |

I've subscribed to a HB search view in my RSS reader, then send my 'shared' items to Twitter using twitterfeed. You can set one up for anything you create an RSS feed for. |
|
|
Though I agree, an official HB twitter acct would be nice (though possibly overwhelming, which is why mine is based on a search of only what I want to see). |
|
|
I forgot what all of the parameters meant, but I added the one I subscribe to as a link here. |
|
|
// Everywhere is horrible except here // |
|
|
I agree: the site is clean and functional - exactly what you need IMHO...and thanks for the '/lr' link - works a treat. |
|
|
Still would be nice to have a HB j2me application though....anyone? |
|
|
1. Store username/password.
2. Also pre-selection of favourite categories (and/or users): perhaps in a nice little collapsible GUI (similar to BBC News application).
3. Allow to you create HB ideas offline and upload them when you go online
4. Easy +,-,= buttons to vote. |
|
|
Is there an 'API' on the backend of HB (A 'rest' API of somesort?) that would allow people to build this ? Are we allowed to hook into Half Bakery with other clients other than browsers? |
|
|
I've used an RSS feed for this place before but i can't remember how. |
|
|
I'm not trying to be contrary, [monojohnny], and I'm sure a little phone front-end in J2ME would be fine and dandy. However, my first thoughts, in an ashamedly luddite way, were the following: |
|
|
//1. Store username/password.// Browsers can remember passwords. |
|
|
//2. Also pre-selection of favourite categories (and/or users)// Browser bookmarks can do this. |
|
|
//3. Allow to you create HB ideas offline and upload them when you go online// Notepad works fine. |
|
|
//4. Easy +,-,= buttons to vote.// it's not about the voting. |
|
|
But if your heart was really set on it I'm sure you could come up with a basic HTML client program that parsed the HB code. I don't think you would need any back-end interface (oo-er!) other than the standard HTML get. |

Yeah all true,but the little apps feel more responsive and the control is better-soft keys and menus in the right places. I use google mail - with the app and in the mobile browser, the former is much more satisfying. I'm just dreaming really. . . Since i bought a new phone :-) |
