Mobile App

A version of AmpMod for phones

amp

unconstructable13 I am experimenting with possible ways to implement this such as a block palette at the top

unconstructable13

amp It would be better if it were to be at the bottom though in my opinion

Anonymised_user_6

what about a mobile app for Android? we could base it off the scratch app but make support for phones.

Anonymised_user_6 that would be very fun and exciting! cannot wait to make projects on my phone!

However, I did hear somewhere that uploading an app to the Google Play store requires a fee to be paid, and I don’t think 8to16 has a lot of money with him. I do, but I can’t really do anything with it because my parents think I’m just going to blow it all on stupid things that I don’t really need, and plus, it’s not like I can send some over to 8to16

Anonymised_user_6

unconstructable13 We can’t upload to GPlay, it would be considered a dupe app.

We can just make a repo with the APK, tho.

unconstructable13

Anonymised_user_6 what is a dupe app

amp

Anonymised_user_6 We can just make a repo with the APK, tho.

Releases exists. (we already have ampmod/desktop-releases)

Anonymised_user_6

unconstructable13 a duplicate. per GPlay tos, its against it to upload mods. we could upload to fdroid or another store though.

unconstructable13

Anonymised_user_6 we can probably just make the APK available through the AmpMod website

Anonymised_user_6

unconstructable13 or, yeah that too.

Anonymised_user_6

amp This is a suggestion for an app, not desktop.

amp

Anonymised_user_6 yes but i’m pointing out Codeberg has a Releases tab

Anonymised_user_6

amp (oh I’m dumb)

We can probably save the AmpMod mobile app idea for 0.4, it’ll give us more time to brainstorm how a mobile phone version would even work and how it will look like

amp not bad, how will the full screen player look like?

amp

[unknown] but then less integration with the system. which leads to it barely being an app at all! it’s just the equivalent of making a PWA which is much easier, is cross-platform, and works offline.

Anonymised_user_6

amp tdlr: it’s the equivalent of using mit app inventor to make a webpage loader for ampmod and call it a day

unconstructable13

amp I’m really confused. What do you mean by integration? What do you mean by less integration leading to it not being an app at all? What do you mean by cross-platform?
