I've been thinking, I really think Bricklink should come up with an app (for android and apple, obviously). Personally, I find it very difficult to use any website on a browser on my tablet, and a smaller screened smartphone would be no better. As such, I rarely ever use bricklink on my tablet, just because it is so difficult. I know there is the "mobile site", but I'm figuring that's just the same desktop site, enhanced for mobile devices (am I wrong? Please correct if I am). I Don't find it's better at all. It still has the upper "tabs" (Shop, community, my BL, etc, etc) which on desktop requires a hover to use, most of the time. On my tablet, I'm constantly using the "normal" version and using "use desktop version", which really isn't any different or any better. Anyway, consider other major sites (facebook, ebay, amazon, amazon seller, paypal, gmail, how many others am I not including?) that one can visit on a browser OR an app. All those aren't just 5% different versions of the same desktop site, they are designed ground up for tablets/phones. I think bricklink could do very well to come up with one. I KNOW I'd use it all the time. Heck, I've even be willing to pay the typical .99 for it. Has there been talk of an app in the past that I've missed, or is my idea totally, 100% new? Miles (C0lsanders_)
