A mobile application - Agito - 01-17-2025
Having a mobile application could be more fluid with a more interactive forum like the portal or the index which are modern while the forum seems far from it

I don't really see the connection to the topic of discussion, but okay.

Building and maintaining both ios and android apps is significantly more work than just a desktop site. Imo there's very little payoff to having an app vs just a site. It may be a smidge cleaner, but at what cost?

If these are the only payoffs then the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Honestly you get used to the site on mobile after a while. I used to be a hater too but after enough time you get used to the little quirks

I’m sorry but do you think we have the resources to build and maintain a quality mobile app?
RE: A mobile application - Carpy48 - 01-18-2025
We would have to start paying people to work on this full-time and that's not possible.
RE: A mobile application - grok - 01-18-2025
honestly much prefer maintaining web apps. being platform agnostic makes our day-to-day and our hosting much easier. we also don't have to worry about compiling our code which reduces our deployment overhead.
it also costs $100/year for an app store developer license, on top of all the hosting fees and AWS compute we already pay. so we would need to know that a mobile app would generate enough traffic to increase annual donations by at least $100.
