WordPress for iOS
Isaac Keyet (isaackeyet)

Welcome to the Make WordPress Mobile blog. As suggested by a proactive State of the Word spectator at WordCamp San Francisco 2012, there should be a place on WordPress.org for contributing to the mobile apps and the mobile oriented parts of core. So here it is!
Some quick things to get you started (more to come!):
- There are 6 different WordPress apps, out of which 4 are in active development (iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and WindowsPhone)
- There are weekly mobile dev chats on Wednesdays at 15:00 UTC in #wordpress-mobile on Freenode. Join us!
- Check out the individual app dev blogs for the time being – as we progress we’ll start posting more here.
WordPress is mobile. Get excited, get involved!

Will this be the right place to discuss and work on, say… mobile enhancements to the admin (web) backend, responsive themes, etc., or just the native interfaces for mobile devices?

This should be a good place for any mobile dev discussions, both for the apps and mobile oriented core development.
Responsive web design discussion should probably still happen on Make/UI, at least for the time being (we’ll have to ping the core UI team about it!)

Great. I am very interested in how we use HTML5 – local storage, forms, offline working (AppCache) – and using WordPress as a backend to drive web apps.
Exciting times.

May I suggest a make.wordpress.org/mobile/ios domain naming convention for each of the individual mobile sites? Also would be cool to aggregate posts with specific categories/tags from each of them here.

For the specific apps (such as the iOS app), we already have sites for them (such as http://ios.wordpress.org/ ). These are all listed at http://wordpress.org/extend/mobile/. Over time, they may be integrated better into the overall infrastructure.

right, I was merely recommending a domain name change for continuity, and clarity.

Unrelated question… When I check the checkbox for “Notify me of follow-up comments by email.” and uncheck “Notify me of new posts by email.”, i get this email (twice now): http://b.ustin.co/XSP4
Am I missing something? (i’ll be checking them both this time)
Justin Sternberg 8:32 pm on August 4, 2012 Permalink |
And checking them both results in the same email.. which results in a subscription to the site’s posts, not a subscription to the comments. Sorry if this isn’t the right channel, but not sure what the deal is. http://b.ustin.co/leOm http://b.ustin.co/oHSt

Woohoo! I know I’ve seen some folks with a few gripes about the iOS app, so hopefully this will open up the channels and let people provide more direct feedback on what goes into the apps.
