I don't think so since that would take a lot of development time. The mobile version of the site works pretty well from a smartphone. Are there any specific improvements that you'd like to see that a dedicated app would provide over the mobile version of the site?

Like CooperDragon said... not likely. Forums websites aren't well served by dedicated apps. It's a lot to develop for a simple feature-set. And unfortunately, apps out there that you can "integrate" with, end up stripping ads and putting their own in, taking away the funds that help keep this site going free of charge for visitors.

I am hoping (hard with a new family) to try and upgrade things a bit in the coming year. It won't be a massive overhaul, but hopefully some improvements with the updated forum software. It takes time to setup a test version of the site with the update, and then for me to migrate all the template customizations to the new update's formatting/features.

But, as CooperDragon said... the mobile template hopefully makes it a bit more usable on mobile.

Cheers,
-Alex

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
