chainBB Mobile App?
I have been using chainBB for quite a while now, especially because I like how the content is organized. I think that, based on how the content is structured, chainBB would benefit from a mobile app.
Is a mobile app in the works? If so, is there some sort of estimate of when it would be released?
Thanks :)

I'm still planning out the website hah, the project is just over a month or two old at this point :)
Many people have requested a mobile app, and while I have nothing planned yet, it sounds like it needs to happen. If I get to the point where I can hire a team of developers to work with me on this project - a mobile development team will be a must.
Oh wow it's only been a month or two and it already looks like this? Excited about the features it can have in the future, including the mobile app!
Do you somehow have a page for suggestions? I have some ideas I would like to share.
It's a good idea. 💭
Definitely agree! I think it would increase usage of the site :D
I would really like to see chainbb available in a mobile app too.
Agreed. A mobile app would be great for this site, I have yet to see a good iOS STEEM app. Does anyone know of any?
Haha yes good to see more people who would like a mobile app!
Yeah I feel like developer resources are still relatively scarce, making it difficult to develop apps. Unless you're building your mobile app with a mobile framework that's based on JavaScript or Python, you might have to build a Swift/Java/Kotlin API to the blockchain.
the crypto-space is ever evolving :)
That's true. There's a lot of people in the Steem community, and I assume a good chunk of them are advanced developers, such as @jesta.
I'm a developer myself, but when it comes to mobile/web dev, I'm relatively a beginner. I'd like to develop Steem apps in the future as well, as I learn more and more about it.
The chainBB Suggestions Forum would be the ideal place for ideas and ways to make the site better. It's a sub-forum of the chainBB project forum.
Lookin forward to seeing what you've been thinking!
lol it must get busier and busier for you xd.
This is awesome! Hope we can see the mobile app soon!! Don't rush, just take your time :)
I think an example of a good iOS STEEM app is eSTEEM, made by @good-karma. I was looking at its repository, and it looks like it was made with Ionic, with is a mobile development framework based on Angular (or AngularJS? correct me if I am wrong it has been a while since I played with Ionic): https://github.com/eSteemApp/esteem
I am not much of a developer at all but I am always learning and trying to take things in. There's SO MUCH to know
Thanks I will have to try it out!
Absolutely agree with this! Very excited about a mobile app, but definitely don't want @jesta to get sick or something :)
Yeah I can see how it would get hectic. Very excited about a mobile app, but definitely don't want @jesta to get sick or something.
Thanks! Will draft up some recommendations and post them when I can :)
You're welcome!
Learning never ends :) If you're interested in web/mobile development, definitely recommend https://www.freecodecamp.com/
A lot of people have learned through that site. There's a lot of practical exercises and projects, plus you get certifications.
Bookmarked ! Thank you so much that looks awesome
You're welcome! Software engineering skills, including web/mobile development, is highly valuable.
All the best!
really want to have one
can't wait for mobile apps, but even the apps browser works fine :)
