Boardworld Forums App
Thanks to lanox, we’re starting to make real progress on a Boardworld Forums App.
We need to work out exactly what features/buttons are needed for the phone app.
What features would you say are essential to the have? Keep in mind, the simpler it is, the easier it will be to use.
Also we need to come up with a rough design. I’m happy for it to be unique and it doesn’t have to follow the current graphics/design of the website.
Just wanted to start brainstorming with you guys. We are creating this app for our loyal members so I want to make sure everyone is happy with it.
Feel free to post a design if you have any ideas.
Thank you,
Jeremy. 
I’m cool with taking on the graphic design side of things, as far as refining/finishing it goes. We can sort through all the suggestions, then take it from there.
I’d suggest the app is initially made simultaneously for iPhone and iPad, then ported to the Android equivalents.
Thanks chucky, that’s an awesome offer. Thank you very much! I’ll definitely take you up on that.
Just to keep in mind for now the most important thing is to get concept of reading/writing, what this means is we need to get best suited designe for clean viewing of threads/posts and navigating from snowboarding,skating,surfing sections once the rough concept is agreed upon it will be lot easier to add other features including other features, ie automated pic processing which I am working on idea. Rider if I have said anything wron just edit my post or correct me.
Sounds good to me. I’m going to work on a quick design now. Cheers Lano.
It would be cool if we could snap a pic or vid and post it straight to a thread.
Not sure if this is doable on BW. I love how it can be done on FB. I could of had K2’s slam on BW heaps quick
To anyone wishing to contribute:
Start by looking at apps you like, identify what it is you like about them, how they work, and how you interact with them - then think about how and why they could be better.
Then let us know.

Azz that is not a problem, what the problem is how to know what post to post it in ? If there is a gallery and all images/video go there that is pice of cake, that is what I am trieing to figur out.
Just a very quick and rough concept. Ignore the colours, fonts etc. Just trying to convey the need for a simple, clean platform.
What do you think?

That sounds like a top idea!
That is one of the main ‘add-on’ features we’re trying to build. The whole idea is you take a photo with your camera. Then you open the Boardworld app and click ‘Post Photo’ or something. Hopefully you will be able to specify which thread, or it might just have to go to a general photo upload thread, where everyone’s phone photos go. You will be able to put in a title and description etc. This is all very early ideas but that’s along the lines I was thinking. Please feel free to improve my idea or give suggestions.

It would be cool if you could enter a thread, and have the option to put up a photo then? Just a thought (:
I read the Wests Tigers Forum quite a lot. They recently created a free forum app, which I use to read the forums. Perhaps you guys might want to check that one out, just to get an idea of how it’s built?
Yeeeeew! This sounds awesome!
I’ve been waiting for this app
Instead of clicking “next” to go to the next page of the thread, could we swipe? like reading a book
