Newschoolers Needs An App

Newschoolers needs a searchbar....oh wait it already has one. Use it

they said it would be too big of a bitch to do all the coding or transfer everything somehow idk about servers or the internet and shit tho

SCFILMSWho else agrees that NS needs a mobile app?

Its on "the list".

To be fair if you tried to find another app thread in the serachbar... you have a high chance of failure.

I agree, but think that it would be just like the site, just 2 clicks less lol

NS had an app back in 2009. using the mobile version of the website was better. who knows what they have in store for the future, but it sounds like an app could be making a comeback.

I'm making zero promises other than its "on the list".

is it just my phone or is there no way to access my media via the mobile site as well as edit profile etc?

Yeah no MyMedia doesn't work very well on mobile, and its not linked to.

I dont think the searchbar is as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Hell i just typed in "app"and 11 identical threads to this one were on the first page.

I did not see this yesterday when I started the same thread lol..

Anyway:
I've made a git repo:
https://github.com/kvitberg/NS

If anyone want to join in on some coding or know of some API, feel free to comment or PM or whatever.

My plan is:
TODOs:
Create a simple sketch of the application
Create a photo, video and forum section

If API is provided:
Create a functional login

So if there's not any API to use, the Kimono extention is pretty neat to provide some JSON from skraping content off a website: https://www.kimonolabs.com/

If I develop an app for you guys can I be an orange name?

I applaud your passion and effort here, it's no small undertaking. I just wanted to make a few things clear before you get too invested. An app has been created before by community members, it's no longer available for a few reasons.

First is that some of the features the developer wanted to create didn't have existing API calls. Forums are an example, there is no external way to grab forum data except for scraping the HTML pages, which is exactly what the previous developer did. When we changed our forum page layout their app broke and they decided it was too much work to re-write their XML parser and abandoned the app.

The other issue was that although we have several API services available for media (photos, videos, channels, etc...), they were all created specifically for the functionality of the Photo, Video and NSTV pages. There are gaps in the API, and more importantly there is no guarantee they will continue to function the same as they do today. I can tell you now that we are working on a huge refresh of the Photo and Video pages, and most of the existing API calls are going to be removed or replaced.

Ideally we'd have a published API service with documented endpoints that we would support, and provide advanced notice of changes. However that isn't quite in the cards... yet.

Would be nice to have faster on mobile devices but easier said than done, doesn't matter who you are
