For those who don't know what Tapatalk is, it's a popular app made to make forum browsing easier for people on smartphones. It's pretty cool and easy to install. I would like to use this forum with Tapatalk, what do you think?

Full support for this idea ! Tapatalk is very comfortable and it will makes the use of the forum easier on a journey, not at home etc.

Viewing this forum on my mobile browser is agony.

I vote against. Every little extra thing you can do on your phone is another thing that will keep you on your phone instead of making music.

Let this forum be something you do once in a while at your computer. Don't take it with you to the couch, to the studio, or out the door.

Your mobile browsing experience SHOULD be bad. That way you'll only use the internet on your phone when you absolutely need to, not just every time you get tired of listening to your own thoughts.

With that logic we should actually delete this forum so it doesn't keep us out of our DAWs...

I don't know what phone do you have but my moto g lags a lot and the battery runs down quickly using this website. Tapatalk would be extremely useful as it's easier on the cpu and ram.

The forum is a tool. A good tool is designed with limitations based on optimal use cases, so that it supports a given goal. Turning the forum into an app is basically "feature creep".

I use a dumbphone that just makes calls and text messages.

It's not turning the forum into an app. A lots of forums use this thing, it's a tool, to make forums in general easier to browse on a smartphone. If you prefer to stay "focused" then just don't use it, but I honestly think Tapatalk is a must for every forum.

Tapatalk isn't a must for every forum, it's a must for every smartphone and internet addict who happens to use forums.

Lots of forums do lots of things they probably shouldn't. Doesn't make it right. One of the cool things about this forum, and the reason I'm on it, is that it seems like the founders are dedicated to not making those mistakes, and to keeping a kind of purity about what this forum is used for. Hopefully they stay dedicated in spite of pressure from users who need to constantly look at screens.

Why is there always that one guy who needlessly bashes a good idea with really bad logic?

I'm on TPF all the time on my phone. Sometimes I'm waiting for a class to start or for my turn to get food at a restaurant. Sometimes I'm getting a ride from someone and there's nothing else to do. If anything, checking whatever you need to check on TPF when you're not home would mean there'd be a lot less to do on here once you did get home, which means you'd have MORE time to focus on producing.

I don't see how making browsing the forum more efficient could be anything but beneficial.

Think about what you're saying there: You typecasting me as "that one guy" (what guy?) who "needlessly bashes" (I gave my honest, reasoned criticism of an idea and saw the need to do so; forums axist for exactly that purpose) a "good idea" (we haven't yet established that it's a good idea!) with "really bad logic" (if it's so bad show what's wrong with it! Respond to it! All you did was state an unrelated point that actually backs up my argument...see below).

If I seem harsh now it's because I don't like being smeared with ad hominems.

Sounds like you've got a screen addiction. TPF shouldn't play the role of enabler to you.

TPF was started as a website for a reason. A lot of people are tabbing between this and their DAWs. Adding an app changes the implied intended use case. See previous comment.

I believe you! I don't think the idea was suggested maliciously. But the road to hell...

You said you used a "dumbphone," so this suggestion isn't something that would even apply to you. You're pretty much disagreeing for the hell of it. Everyone who posted before you agreed that the idea was good. Your logic is faulty, and relies on the claim that the only people who would benefit are any "smartphone and internet addict who happens to use forums," which is more "ad hominem" than anything I said. Therefore, you're that one guy who needlessly bashes a good idea with really bad logic.

No it doesn't, it just makes the forum more accessible. Having the forum open on your phone and your DAW on your computer is no different than having both your DAW and the forum open on your computer. Actually, I think the former would even be more convenient.

I'm sorry I came off as harsh, hopefully I clarified whatever was bothering you. I've just dealt with a couple of other people who criticized an idea I suggested without really contributing to the discussion, almost as if they were doing it 'cause they had nothing better to do.
