Why not just use the browser to that extent? Website apps do clip content and make it small screen friendly, but leaves out alot of the features that I miss, I hate website apps.
That was my opinion, I am pretty sure shroomery still rocks PHPBB, although I may be wrong, but if they do.

these require website addons though, but maybe we can push shroomery to rock one!

There are alot of website apps that are disappointing, but I feel like if the shroomery did it, they'd do it right.
Sounds interesting, even if it was ass, I'd probably still support it just because it was the shroomery.

I would be willing to write one, but do not have the $$ for apple app development. Although to make a really righteous app, I would need a pipeline for queries, HTML scrapes are too unreliable (1 phpbb update or a template change could screw it).
That's why I would suggest the forum runner app. it's both Iphone/Android, and only requires 1 addon to the bulletin board, which probably provides it some kind of direct SQL connection in a secure manner (not embedding credentials into the app, which is what I would have to do, unless someone would write the PHPBB addon and be able to just spit out forums topics posts and allow you to submit.

This looks like the one, since we wouldn't need a paid service to shroom on.
So how do we go about pushing this?

The forum admin would just have to be willing to run the add on script I suppose. Although that one leaves out android users. Fourmrunner is free, the paid for app (fairly cheap) just strips add support and adds some features.
I honestly wouldn't mind paying for the app at 3 or 4 dollars.

neither would I, but I'm waiting to start my job atm, so I literally don't have 3-4 dollars to spare, and I'm gonna be pretty miffed if I push this shit and can't play with it.
hahaha, either way though, I hope we can get something going, I'll get it eventually.
shroomery ftw!

Love the shroomery, they must have deleted inactive users, my old username was deleted. First time on the board in about 2 or 3 years, used to constantly hit the site, but then just didn't have time to hit forums, 2 majors and a full time job make for a pretty full day.
But I return as a graduate and software engineer, and still having fun!
Love this community!

I have a lot of downtime at work, if Ythan is willing to give me the access I might need to the backend, I'll give it a shot.

i've thought about this... and people have talked about it before.
i wouldnt mind seeing it but iw ouldnt be too hopeful.
anyway, browsing the shroomery is already possible and easy on the iphone. its not hard, the only thing thats kind of annoying is how you have like search around with your finger because the webpage is too damn big.
logging in can be a pain too, but other than that same old shroomery on the phone. just leave one webpage (i think you get 8?) open on the log in screen. thats what i do
