Factorio forum app. Not like you think

Post by york2dx48 »

I got an idea for a factorioforum app. It works just in the background. This app works for notifications. So you can log in with your factorioforum account and get notifications in your notification bar, if sb replies on your post or does quote your post.

More ideas? What do you think?

As phpBB is a pretty widespread forum platform, I'd be surprised if there isn't something like this already.

Notifications on the phone are good, but if there is no responsive mobile skin / access, the notification are useless. If i get an notification i will also check the new post. Currently the forum isn't really usable on phones.

The trouble is, some emails (like hotmail) do not "ping" you when you get a new email (as in an actual sound) so you constantly have to flick to check emails, with the OP's idea, you could make a pop up message or better still, a ping noise when someone replies/quotes your post.

Or use a mail, that "pings" you?
