iPhone app for the Watch?

YouTube · Post by **Menolly** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 2:28 am

So, tonight I receive a text out of the blue from one of the Gravin Threndor purists. He's one of the role players who refuses to post anywhere else on the rest of the Watch, but spends so much time in GT he decided to come to me with this suggestion.

Apparently he owns an iPhone, and feels accessing the Watch via the iPhone's browser is too tiny to be useful. So, he wants to offer a cash incentive to someone who knows coding to create the app.

I don't own a web-enabled phone, much less a smart phone like an iPhone or Android, so most of what he asked me to relate flew over my head. But if he has represented himself to me truthfully, I'm pretty sure he would be good on his word to follow through with a cash incentive to whomever does this.

I have no idea how much he is offering nor how much he feels would be worth it to him. But, he asked me to post the offer. Here it is, as far as I know it.

As a suggestion, I think the app would be better if it focused on certain areas in the Watch (in the case of your friend, Graven Threndor). I would think that would make it more manageable, but frankly I have no idea

This has been done generically already. A quick search of Market on my Android phone shows three apps available:
Forum Runner (Free)
BBfoc 2.0 (Forums view) (Free)
Forum Runner ($1.99)

The descriptions on these apps say they allow browse and post on most commonly available PHP bulletin boards. Not sure what versions are supported, but it goes a long way down the path of "we got it", even if someone takes up the challenge to write a specific KW app.

I downloaded and tried Forum Runner (Free) and I cannot locate Kevin's Watch in their search for available forums.

What PHP version is KW based on?

The Android app says it works for version 3.x of PHPbb.
Is there a chance that KW is using something different?

The 2 on the end of phpBB2 says it all.

DW, an IT employee, asks the facetious question: "Is it a painful thing to upgrade to phpBB3.x?"

Our database is too large and corrupt, we'd have to dump all accounts and posts. Start from nothing.

But other than that, it would be easy, right?

Our database isn't corrupt - its just a bit big and my attempts to move it failed.

And I have said before, anybody who can do it should let me know and we can talk
