Said it is a great and I constantly push people to covert.

More people would come if they worked on fixing the layout for phones or offering an app.

We are right in the middle of developing our mobile interface. I've already done the html and css development, and we're just doing the technicals of enabling the subdomain m.saidit.net where the mobile layout will be. And a very alpha version of our android app is available in the store right now (we haven't publicly announced it yet because it's still being developed) which will also use the m.saidit.net layout.

We're definitely taking mobile development for saidit seriously, and we're making progress on it. Just give us a bit more time and we'll get there.

    If you're using a native app with webview just to render the mobile site through a dedicated app, why not just add a webmanifest to your website and have Chrome and Firefox on mobile devices make their own WebApps (which basically opens the website in an app-view) for now?

    Because people wanted an app, and this is the best way we can figure out how to do it. We might look more in to the webmanifest thing, can you explain it more please?

    We are definitely prioritizing m.saidit.net over the app, but they're actually being developed in parallel. We have a separate person working on the app while I do the m.saidit.net development.

    We're developing everything in xamarin which can export apps for both Android and iOS.

    It just takes a lot of time, that's all. But we're always looking for tips so I appreciate the feedback.

      Hm thanks for the explanation. /u/BobDole might be interested in this, since he's helping make saidit's app

      It's been difficult, but we are pushing to get apps out there. No eta just yet.
