On: Ask HN: Check out my little app

[caffeine]

I'll bite. Feature request: make it an iPhone app.

[jmonegro → caffeine]

I can make an iPhone version of the website, but is it really necessary?

[uuilly → jmonegro]

You should build one if your customers ask for it.

And if you do well they will ask. Most iPhone apps are just web-apps w/a "phone-top" interface. Running your app through Safari on the iPhone feels too slow and looks crappy next to a native app. I think having an iPhone app is going to be as standard as having website soon, if not already.

Also agree w/ sibling poster about access to your contacts + other richness.

Otherwise, good luck! I really like how you ritually slaughtered all the BS.

Not sure why all the downvoting ...

My primary envisaged use for your app was on the move. I have a phone, and need to talk to several people at once. No problem, conference call. Whip out the app, add a few contacts, have the conference call.

Well, a native app might be cool here, because you'd be able to get at the Address Book.

If I gave you a list of my contacts, could you automatically call them all into the conference once I joined?

Don't own an iphone, but I can see how it'd be really convenient to have access to all its phone capabilities.

Is it possible to simply make current site render nicely in both iphone and regular browsers?

[icefox → jmonegro]

no, a webapp is good enough.
