Title: Why doesn't developers make application for btc talk org?
Post by: HackS on November 18, 2017, 10:23:18 AM
Hi all so I've been using this site for some time and I wonder why don't devs of site make app for smartphones, is it because they are afraid of Googles intentions or share you're opinions? :)

It seems to me that this is because it is impossible to fully use this site from your smartphone. You can write a message now but I am 100% sure that it will be spam. In order to write a quality post you need to read the whole thread. It is easier to do with a large screen on the computer. I may be wrong but this is my opinion.

Agreed with you, but it would be cool if there's an app that allows you to read threads you follow, or replies to your thread. It is possible to just view in on the browser in your phone though, and everything is the same, except it being small. Maybe there isn't much point to create an app when you can already view it, with nothing major that can be improved on.

I agree also with you, The btc talk website is mobile browser friendly already so there is no need for another mobile application. its a waste of time and a loop hole for spammers.

I'm using it on phone and it's ok,but it would be much better as you said something like chat box or messenger for this site,it's not hard work just need to link site to apk and that is half of job.:)

Bitcointalk on my mobile interface is exactly the same as the one on the PC. Obviously, it would be nice to have a dedicated app, as long as there would be all the features of the full website.

I don't think that a forum site will go well on having an app version of it, unlike Facebook, Twitter, or other social media websites the staff of this community will have a massive change in interface in order to look or make the forum site appealing to become an app. But even from personal experience I can still access and write posts in the forum using my mobile phone.
