MMM as an App?
« on: December 31, 2016, 08:34:29 PM »
I'm sure has been discussed before, has MMM ever thought of creating an app for his website?

For what purpose?
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

The interface could definitely be improved with the mobile site. Lots of horizontal scrolling to read anything on the forums. Luckily Android phones will convert the actual blog to AMP on Chrome.

Please no. If certain mobile browsers have problems, get those fixed. Not every website needs an App.

I really hate how many things are going to apps when a web browser works perfectly fine! I don't have room on my phone for so many apps!

Tapatalk seems like a good solution for those who want to browse the forum on an app, though I quickly deleted it after first trying it. The browser is a-okay for me!

I guess what the forum and website needs is to be more mobile-friendly. Right now I have to use Firefox's "Reader" mode to actually be able to read anything on my smartphone. An app, though, isn't really necessary. I guess the OP meant the same.
