• What ever happened to the Facepunch iPhone/iPod Touch app?
    38 replies, posted
I remember there being a thread for an app being made to browse Facepunch on an iPhone or iPod Touch. Is it still going to be made? Because I'm sure that many people on here received these and would love the app.....
Unions got to it.
It'd be really nice right now, the fucking snowflakes lag it like shit in Safari and there's no way to block them.
Well I highly doubt it's abandoned, wasn't it his course work or something?
I'm sure Hexxeh will work on it sometime, he's a pretty busy guy I bet.
Hexxeh is in San Fran I think.
They hate you
I'd enjoy this. I just got the iPhone 4.

Why would you?
I'd appreciate a subdomain of facepunch.com for phones and other mobile devices with limited bandwidth, and also godawful pay-per-megabyte services. But that'll require a solution similar to Opera Mini, where there's a server compressing the website content to reduce bandwidth usage for the mobile devices. [url]http://www.opera.com/business/solutions/mini/[/url] [quote]Compression technology plays a central role in Opera Mini’s effectiveness. Opera Mini compresses traffic by up to 90%, without removing or altering Web site content. This results in the fastest and most robust experience possible, while keeping delivery costs under control.[/quote] But since Opera Mini, firstly isn't exactly the best mobile browser and second it's not supported by all phones, then it can't be used as a solution, though they have the right idea on how to solve some of the problems. In short: Basically something like [I]m.facepunch.com[/I] without the bandwidth hogging of [I]facepunch.com[/i]
Hexxeh has to finish it at some point early next year, he's not in San Francisco - he's back in the UK now.
I was just thinking about this this morning actually..
It's going to be on Android as well, right?
Fun fact, I have to mostly finish it within the Christmas holiday, which finishes 6th January for me. As a result of this, I'm working on it this very second.

[QUOTE=Hexxeh;26976227]Fun fact, I have to mostly finish it within the Christmas holiday, which finishes 6th January for me.

Or will it be nearly done, but have a long phase of bug testing before a later release?
[QUOTE=Hexxeh;26976227]Fun fact, I have to mostly finish it within the Christmas holiday, which finishes 6th January for me.

Not that I don't want you to be here, I want you to finish by your deadline.

So He may be finished by the 6th, but it will still be a while until we can get our filthy little hands on it. I don't know how the Android app store works though.

Actually right now I'm waiting for compwhizii to get the fuck online and fix the API.
[QUOTE=Veers;26976485]Android :eng101:[/QUOTE] Oops. My bad. I don't know shit about Androids or Droids. Fix'd
Awesome, should be done around when I get my iPhone 4 then, cool
[QUOTE=Hexxeh;26976227]Fun fact, I have to mostly finish it within the Christmas holiday, which finishes 6th January for me. As a result of this, I'm working on it this very second.[/QUOTE] Will it cost anything?
[QUOTE=Gainax;26977048]Will it cost anything?[/QUOTE] Probably: 59p- Add free Free- With adds.
This would be fucking awesome.
[QUOTE=Rashy;26977087]Probably: 59p- Add free Free- With adds.[/QUOTE] I could work with that. Also, I heard some rumor that the paid version would have push notifications. Is that true?
We went through this already... There's a paid version with just basic features, which is free with ads. There's also a paid version, which will be about $3/4 probably, with no ads etc. Don't forget, developers only get 70% of the price, so at $3 I'd actually only be getting $2.10. Some of the features in the paid version will depend on my servers too, which I have to pay for monthly, so there's good reasoning behind the price really...
