[QUOTE=Hexxeh;34221539]You could just run m.facepun.ch as a reverse proxy and add a bunch of rules that modify pages as you need? Edit: Something like this? [url]http://m.facepun.ch[/url] If you can minimise the number of changes you're doing, I can rewrite pages on the fly to include some CSS/JS for you. I've added mobile.js to every page, it's probably best to just use this as a point for hooking in. You can modify the page head to add CSS or do content modification from here. I've tried adding your changes, but they don't look right on my iPhone 4S, so you'll have to tweak it around to make it work.[/QUOTE]Could work, but there's a load of changing and re-positioning involved (all stylesheets have to be re-positioned in the head and then a few more have to be added below. Plus, your server would be pretty much flooded by request and work when this goes out to everyone.

I can't imagine the mobile version being popular enough to outgrow the amount of capacity I can dedicate to it. It could be optimised to cache static content on my servers too, that's not configured right now. The only issue I can think of that you'd have is that everyone is accessing the site via a common IP address, but that's unavoidable.
C'mon, give us an update! I have the unfortunate feeling this is dying/is dead.
When I search Facepunch on the Android market it says there are 21 results, but only shows me two...

[QUOTE=TerabyteS_;34197141]facepun.sh is available :v:[/QUOTE] Make it a gag site where all the text on FP is converted into a drunken slur.
[QUOTE=ijyt;34298443]Make it a gag site where all the text on FP is converted into a drunken slur.[/QUOTE] Why?
[QUOTE=Zombie man70;34316458]Why?[/QUOTE] It'd be funny!
This can't come fast enough for me. The eewai version is really bad when you start having to log back in every other thread you visit, and the main site through the web browser is slow as fuck.
Funny thing is ever since upgrading to my Galaxy Nexus with it's overkill 1280x800 screen resolution, the default FP is just fine now :v: I guess the high res trend that's about to happen with Apple products is a good idea. Still love the idea of an app though.

But a little donation could help. :v:[/QUOTE] I'll considering donating to this, but I'd want to know some more facts first, like is this a mobile site or an app? And both versions are treated equally right? No favoritism.
Mobile site. Except without hosting. [editline]21st January 2012[/editline] So it's really nothing yet.
Sorry guys, I know I've been slacking a lot recently (and also a bit of school shit got into my way). Tomorrow's a free day so I thought I might as well give some time to this. Expect some updates tomorrow.
Damn right.

I read the title as though you were building a car named the Facepunch Mobile.
someone beat you to the mobile app
[QUOTE=Zombie man70;34362573]Well? Just tell us if this is dead. I don't want you to keep getting my hopes up.[/QUOTE] I'm sorry to disappoint you but as you probably haven't guessed I don't live for this project and have many (probably [I]too[/I] many) other commitments I should devote myself to which are far more important than a project I'm working on for free and asking nothing more in return than a few donations from those willing to donate. I do try to give some of my free time to this project and I do a bit of work whenever I can, but please try not to force me because as I just said I'm doing this for free and I really dislike being forced.
You said you would build something for FP. You are now our slave until it is finished.
Don't mean to steal your thunder or anything but [url]www.facepunch.com/threads/1157884?goto=newpost[/url] you guys can use that while this is not done

Terabyte is actually a [I]good[/I] designer, and the app's UI is pretty bad.
Just so you know, I'm only disagreeing with that to say the app's UI isn't bad.
It's also open source apparently so anyone can improve it.
I misread this as "Facepunch-mobile" and entered expecting plans for a giant Facepunch bus with Facepunch murals all along the sides. I am disappoint.

[QUOTE=Zombie man70;34420258]Yeah, but what about us iPhone users?[/QUOTE] Get a real smartphone.

Any love for us Windows Phone 7 users?

Given that there's now a solid API available, you might find you have more flexibility writing a site that utilises that. API docs are available in Programming WAYWO a couple pages back.
