Mobile FA
15 years ago
So...
So I have a new phone now that runs Android. (Which is turning out to be pretty awesome!) And I can browse the pages of FA when I don't have the luxury of a laptop or other computer on me.
I know Dragoneer has already come out and said there will never be a mobile app for FA, but I'm hoping that the site will still work with mobile browsers after the switchover.
Here's hopin'. :)

What I'm most interested in, is weather or not the new UI that's going to eventually come out for FurAffinity, is going to be mobile phone friendly. The current UI, which I rather like honestly, is about 98% compatible with my mobile phone, (and seems to work pretty well on most Android / iPhone models I've seen, also on some Symbian phones like the N95.) I know the page is going to closely resemble SoFurry, (unless they change it again), but SoFurry has an actual mobile website. I don't know if that's in the works for FA. (I'm also not on SoFurry, so other than a little dinking around, I really couldn't do much with their mobile site. I may investigate this farther when my phone recharges.)
Personally, I don't really care if there's an app, I'd just be happy with mobile browser function. So far, on most smart phones, the current setup works alright. I may have to do a little digging on this just for curiosity.

Mobile apps are more a matter of convenience, or to allow you to more easily do things than the website allows. the two don't really cancel each other out. That and sometimes it's also a matter of choice. Some people prefer to not load up their phones with apps and just use the web applications. Others prefer the "click and go" nature, and background notification options of apps. I go both ways, for example, I use a twitter app, but prefer to access Facebook at the webpage. Also, everyone isn't me, so doubtless others will have different ways they do things.

it IS a pain though because I can't use the advanced search options, but I can still comment on people's submissions and note people and other stuff =3
