Im currently developing a new computer program to allow people to visit all their favorite message boards in a simple program rather than having to use internet explorer. I want to see if there is any kind of interest in this program before i proceed any further in the development of it. Please let me know if you think im just too lazy, if it would make things more complicated, or if its a great idea.
 
I visit at least three message boards on a regular basis. I would give something like that a shot.

I only visit this one, but could you make it so that the search & browse features are really customizable?

I got to 5 of them. One of them is mine. I would be interested to see what you can offer. Can you can devlope a Palm version of the softwear so I can log on to them eaiser from school.

I never have programed anything for a palm before, probally cause i dont own one. But microsoft .NET allows you to easily output your program to smart devices such as palm. I might be able to incorperate that but it would be something to mess with after the program is all done.
 
Well for instance, the ability to select only certain sub-forums. Let say I only wanted to browse: General Freshwater, Freshwater Newbie, Aquatic plants and General chit chat. Combine that feature with one that showed only the threads that I have been involved in and have changed since my last visit.

I'm not asking for much :rolleyes:

I'm confused, what would the program offer? You say it would "allow people to visit all their favorite message boards in a simple program rather than having to use internet explorer." But, for me, IE (or in my case Mozilla/Firefox) is simple. So far all I can imagine is a redundant program rather than smoething that simplifies my life. So, if you could possibly expound on what exactly would be simpler than right clicking a favorites bar, popping all of my normal messageboards up in tabs and then reading and posting, please hlp me understand why this is necessary. Not trying to be a PITA here, just honestly not understanding where the ened comes from.

i concur. i visit maybe five to ten a day, depending on how bored i am, and all i have to do is click on the link in my favorites, its not that hard, my comp stores my names and password for the boards
 
Im an admin and mod on about 5 sites, plus i own one, will you be able to get around different boards, like vb, phpbb, invision power ect?
