Suggestion for an App Board

I wanted to suggest the possibility of having on Buzztouch an app board with the BT user names and the logo/links to there apps. In the forums many BT users make great comments on features or ideas and it would be great to go to there respective apps and download them from the market places. Also I think it would inspire others to see the myriad of different apps that can be made from BT.

I love that suggestion! Having apps announced on Facebook is nice, I guess, if you use FB! I would love to see a list of apps we've come up with. Mark

Once saw a movie, theme was, Buid it they will come. Create one and fine tune it, eventually there'll be a link. Fred

Hi Marko, great idea. I could get my head around if needed. If you can do it, by all means, go for it. Don't know what David&Co. think about this.

I was more thinking a tabed menu item next to the forum menu than an app as a way of advertising the talented skills of the BT users. @locolopez - Like the concept of an app though but feel it would be a very niche thing to go on the app store. apple have there app of the week so I think we should have Davids app of the week, and staff favorites etc.

@LocoLopez, I have an app that I've called MySkylla Mobile Buzz v1.5. Download here: http://db.tt/uwWVTF7v It's about All things BTv1.5 If you have an app built in BTv1.5 send me: a link an app icon App Name Description for Menu (List) How-To for your unique feature. I'm not interest in every app but in apps that utilize particular features. Have similar app for BTv1.4 & BTv2.0 Fred

I'd love to see this forum move to the next level with some sub forums and features like chat, etc.. This forum is nice but very basic. I've set-up and administered VBulletin, phpBB and Simple Machine forums for friends and clients. Just need a place to host it and you can use the freeware versions. Those platforms would let us easily create some sub forums such as 'iOS Help' 'Android Help' 'iOS Approved Apps' maybe a 'code help', etc.. lots of social features in there. not sure what platform this one is built on, it looks like Facebook integration and BT Proprietary code. but it uses php which makes me think the backend is SQLish and we could migrate the data most likely. and then the fun part of administering the masses begins :) but there's some great folks that would make more than adequete mods @ here. happy to donate some time back to BT to help. Fred speaks truth, but i'm not feeling right setting up something like that and drawing away BT traffic unless Dave and co tell us to go for it. They may already have plans to expand in motion.

New forum would be extremely helpful, and I think it has been discussed. I know many of the main developers are focusing on Buzztouch itself, and might need a web person on the team. I could see subforums for each version. (1.4, 1.5, 2.0). As well as general android and iphone development forums. Finally a subforum for app releases where people can make a forum post when the release an app with links and such. Biggest problems I have with current forum is that the search is very limited, and doesn't work well. I often just us google to search the forum. With limited search, and all posts in just one big forum, often times the same questions will be asked over and over again.

What if you just set up a page on the Wiki for apps? There is already a link to it on Buzztouch's site. It wouldn't work like a forum, but it could provide the info that Marko suggested at the start of the thread. Just a thought....

happy to help get this going and see this community grow. seems like some talented folks all over the world are here. one other aspect of a new forum that i didn't mention would be loading a plugin/support on it so it could be viewed with an app like tapatalk (or even better, a BT created app that reads forums) I def struggle trying to read this board on my iphone that way it is formatted. @LocoLopez they won't trade him until after the All Star weekend. he needs a change of scenery. If not us then LA so hes not in our conference anymore. anyone on our roster except DROSE (and maybe Taj, he's my buddy) somethign along the line

It is fantastic to see a small idea be expanded upon and refined. I can understand that BT have so much on developing the core that this is far from top of priority, I think what this thread shows is that the BT community can develop and support a way of evolving organically the forums and activities of the users. I think if BT feel what we have suggested is viable then once they put in some infrastructure the experience memebers (Gonorthwest, Fred, stefan, macapple etc) will guide the construction of the forum.

http://db.tt/0msg91Pj This link is to an app that allow you to search and only search: BT Forum BT website MySkylla Blog BT Users Group I can add more sites. Perhaps Stackoverflow, thou I'll probably create a separate search for theme. I've tested and search result are good. Search by user's name or key word. Hopefully I'll have a link to a website tonight. You can also download the HTML Doc and add it to: An app Your Android Device Your website I'll release a new version with improved graphics and links as guided by feedback. Fred Late response partially due to Battery dieing earlier.
