If you do so, can you be sure to resize it for tablets as well? The old iphone version of the site never worked well on tablets, you got this giant text that just looked stupid and made you constantly have to scroll rather than getting several posts on the screen that you could idly read.

If someone is experienced in creating a mobile solution, I'll provide an API for them, all they need to do is send me a PM.

I think it would be more productive to make the site work well on mobile first. That's probably a lot easier, and more convenient for most users. It also would probably not be that hard to make it work well on both iOS and Android, whereas you'd have to build separate apps for the two platforms.

Also, that way it supports bookmarks, tabs, history, and all that other stuff built into a browser out of the box. Plus, if someone sends you a Smashboards link or links to an external site from within Smashboards, you don't have to switch between the app and the browser (this is annoying when it comes to something like Facebook, but Facebook is a big enough site with a polished enough app that it's okay).

When I go to smashboards on my phone it shows that the tappatalk app supports smashboards. Has anyone tried it out?
