Make a Discord Bot List mobile Application #222

Open xXGemStrangXx opened 5 years ago

xXGemStrangXx commented 5 years ago

I think a DBL mobile application would be beneficial to your services as a lot of people dont have access to a computer and dont always enjoy going through the dbl site on their phone.

This will help expand the amount of users as well since some dont have a computer and would like to add bots with out goung trough about 5 different layers of new tabs just to verify your a human. to where the app could just tale you to a verification bit. Authorize you and then take you back to the screen before.

It's a dumb idea in my opinion. Developer licenses for Google Play and Apple App Store cost quite a bit, and there's a website for that reason.

Even if we had an app, we would still have to open the browser for oauth. No change there

@tonkku107 I'm pretty sure there's a thing to do it in app but whatever.

@ThatTonybo Google Play is $15US, Apple is $99US. Not that bad for Android, given it's also the far larger platform

Yes, an in-app browser

yes by all means, still technically an app :^)

It would be much easier to just make the site a PWA (Progressive Web App), this would make it act like a normal downloadable app on desktop and mobile (Chrome will prompt the user to install it) but wouldn't cost anything.

Also @xXGemStrangXx what do you mean 5 new tabs to verify you're a human? When you add a bot it only opens 1 new tab which is the Discord OAuth page, and all the human verification should happen in that tab.

I should comment on this: 1) It's unnecessary. It would be cool, not gonna lie, but we don't really need it. The site works 100% fine on mobile, no need to port it. 2) Yes, Google Play license $25/lifetime, where Apple is $100/yr, not to mention their strict guidelines makes it hard to get the app in anyway. 3) Using a PWA would go back to point 1, if it works fine in browser, don't bother. 4) Going to ONE WEBSITE for Oauth may be necessary but doesn't ruin the idea. Many apps lead to an external page for Oauth, YouTube app, anyone? This was a dumb point to bring up tbh. 5) What overall convenience would it serve? The app should be more convenient than the site, not less or equal.

The main point here is the site works perfectly fine on the mobile browser as is. The only thing that doesn't work is api key copying, like that is impossible.

BTW API docs also arent mobile friendly at all.
