Title: Geekhack App
Post by: Durvid on Thu, 03 September 2015, 11:27:56: Has anyone considered making an app for the site? The mobile site is decent, but I think browsing could be much improved with an app. What do you guys think?

tapatalk

I tried Tapatalk (iPad) with Geekhack and didn't really like it. I can't quite browse the site/topics as I would like. Haven't tried on other devices...I would like to think I'm doing something wrong.

I'm not really sure how a dedicated app would improve things. Maybe more time spent refining a mobile view would do it. Or just use a forum app, like tapatalk.

The newer versions of tapatalk suck and I run an older version.

I really like it, easily see participated threads and the timeline which is like the spy feature.

Which is just as bad, and don't Apple force anyone who has an app on iOS to use essentially the same rendering tools etc as Safari anyway?

what i dislike about it is, any email or app that has a link automatically opens it with safari.

Post by: bueller on Fri, 04 September 2015, 01:46:26: I use Tapatalk but I wish I didn't have to, with each update it just gets worse and worse.

I'd write one myself but it would be Android only and would probably take a fair while.

When I tried to switch to it, it seemed to be less stable and slower than Safari, so I went back. But safari is still awful.
