Is there a plan for a CP mobile app?
-
Dunno. You would have to ask the admins directly: Bugs and Suggestions[^] is the place to suggest it. Doubt it though: it's a lot of work for not a lot of gain as far as I can see.

What's wrong with the trimmed-to-mobile site? I use it all the time...
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Hey Guys, Just the other day I was travelling in the subway and had the urge to check out CP, and I wondered how nice it would be if we had a mobile app for CP. Are there any plans in the near future? Thanks.

I think it would be better (from a delivery, maintenance and usability point of view) to have a truly responsive website. CP's current rendering on mobile is pretty terrible. :( /ravi

I have been working, off and on, on a mobile app for CP based off the API for a little while now. It's using the same core codebase that I used in a couple of articles, but extended to cover the rest of the API. The idea is that there's going to be a couple of articles around this as well. Unfortunately, the API isn't stable enough right now for me to want to stake what little reputation I have on pushing out something against an API that may, or may not be, running at any given point.

Ah, but in a mobile app it is impossible to block the ads. Just saying...

a) Everytime you visit CodeProject and decide not to support our sponsors a kitten dies b) There are no ads on the mobile version.

Cool, may I see that? I'd really like to.

Mobile apps suck even worse than Web apps.

If you make your web apps suck less, will your mobile app suck less too? :laugh:
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

That reminds me of this: Know Your Meme[^] :laugh: All kidding aside, a lot of the folks that visit this site are well aware of the dangers that lurk around every corner in the web. The simplest and most cost-effective way to prevent malware from infecting a computer is to block all the ads which is basically blocking google and yahoo ad services. In addition, by running script blockers we can protect against accidents. The way to provide an avenue for some ad revenue in the age of ad and script blockers is to host static image advertisements on the same domain as the website that can be displayed when the 3rd party ad servers have been blocked. Once your original domain is trusted, the static ads are displayed. Does this increase the amount of time administrating a site? Yes, as now you have to curate ads as well as content. On the question of supporting CP, does visiting the article links in the newsletters count towards advertising?

I'm all for dead kittens, but that's just too much work.

We've tried. There's no such ability to automate ad systems unless you control them 100%. We use two systems: ads which we get directly from agencies and companies such as Microsoft, Google and Amazon, and ads we get from 3rd party providers. The 3rd party providers typically sell ads programatically which means anyone can bid for and place an ad. The broker (in our case, Google's AdExchange) polices the ads, but given it's Google they only police so far. We've tried many, many, many ways to sort the wheat from the chaff but because we have clever motivated people trying to outwit our clever motivated people it comes down to manually fighting the good fight. Basically we constantly watch and work hard to keep your viewing experience sane. Bad ads give the entire software community a bad name.
