Lolbrary upgrade

Shelved by SD_Destroyer on: 2012-02-28

I thought of this while seeing "Austin's" post about suggestions for teh lolbrary.

But I've got a great idea that I bet a lot of you would agree on.

How bout we get a mobile version of the site for cell phones, or even better, an app! This way we can lol on the go. Especially for people like me who have a 4 hour train commute a day.

Upvote if you think this is a great idea! :D

All in favor of the motion, please do by raising your right arm and waving it like you just don't care

The idea looks well supported, so I'll try to look into it. It should be a simple app to make, so I'll let ya'll know when it's up.

I don't know if I'll technically need billmalarky's approval, but I doubt he'd mind.

I don't even have a mobile phone with this kind of capability, but I concur.

I figured an app would be sweet but I didnt want to get too far ahead of myself seeing as a mobile version of the site would do just fine in my book.

As someone who spends a lot of time on 4chan, I hate you and everything you represent. As a fellow lolbrarian, I disagree with your tastes but respect them none the less.

Just wanted to say that this sentence proves just how awesome lolbrarians are :D

See i also visit 9gag as well, yes their is more content but here its easier to connect with funny people as i see that the commenting is much simpler and easier to be notified when their is a response from a fellow lolbrarian, and creating a better experience. So i prefer lolbrary ;{D

msging is quite a nice feature in lolbrary. however for the purpose of a mobile app, I don't want to be stuck on commenting. just give me content and make me laff.

Bosrobot, I'm glad to hear that you love the commenting system. One of the main goals for the site design is simplicity, and I've tried to keep that in mind with the commenting system.

Additionally, I've purposely avoided forcing people to login via facebook since a lot of people want to keep their online life separate from their public/facebook life. Though I am going to integrate the lolbrary with facebook as an option for those who do want that connection in the future.

Don't listen to johnhardcore, looking at his profile, he's obviously a troll.

However, a pretty loyal one lol.

I do check the site from my phone, I just have to make sure I can recognise a gif or an otherwise huge file to avoid clicking on expand and sucking up my bandwidth. I'd welcome a little gif-indicating thing or just a text line telling how big a file is though, so we can decide whether we want to bother loading it on the phone :)

You know what? That is a good idea! If I had a smart phone and didn't drive for my commute.

well I dont need it, but for those unfortunate enugh to having to outsource their brain to some clever phone it might come in handy. Maybe also a google app, so you dont have to browse there? Just an idea..

Actually you can just go to the site and it shows it in slightly condensed but functional format.
