now that is just way too cool! thanks Tii
this thing is the best thing since breaded slice!
I always wanted to learn how to make apps for phones
not that I even own one but my gal does
and to be able to actually make an app
that may even work for it would be the bees knees!

appsbar? Have you no idea?

They do legitimate business, but just enough to cover their fraud, settling when pinned down, and going on.

if u have a browser on ur phone then YES, this place has an app.

seems to work perdy good!

Ef u have Android, u can download their free editor + libraries + test software to make apps.
No need to bother third parties and risk exploits.

The Android language is a custom Java, so if you know Java, you can jump right in for free.

Heck, I even made a custom App for PN, but it only runs on Windows.
Note: Internet Explorer must be installed to provide the shitty amenities (the dependencies)! Heck, you could even do this in Visual Pinball, that is, if the devs would fix the broken ActiveX Control Object, but then, who would use it?

there u go, faralos-- another user-posted EXE for u 2 try. :)

All that is is a Visual Basic Form holding an ActiveX Web Browser Object as a simple one-shot IE browser window to open with the PN URL inserted in to the code, instead of a Textbox which would take the URL as typed, insert that URL to a variable (A Dim in VBScript) and then take it as a URL either directly from the TextBox or from the variable. Either should work.

Java and Android both have a similar Object, one that will image web pages in a JFrame or Android equivalent.

The thing about a web app is that, in Windows it runs exactly like my BrowserBum.exe, borrowing from the IE installation to run.
In Java or Android, the script calls for the web browser library to create the browser and control Objects in a JFrame, a placeholder for the screen and the various controls.

An app may include custom controls, say for direct downloading and uploading of files from the PN download page, but technically speaking, an app is litte more than a direct Shortcut to a website.

A Shortcut to a website opens the browser or, as an app, calls the Java or Android libraries for creating the browser window and whatever custom controls, and then just goes to the site.

I should warn you that the BrowserBum is Primitive and lacks Forward/Back buttons. The only control it has is on a Right-Click and the Back option, so if you go there, you are pretty much stuck with the webpage links to navigate.

This was simply an expreriment of mine to circumvent my frustrations with the IE bloat, by seeing if I cold create a very lightweight fast browser using the ActiveX Control.

Rumor has it that the current IE is light and fast. I don't know.
I haven't tried it.

nice work. computer programming, browsers and site apps are the furthest thing from my mind these days, so i'll just give you a *high five* on all that. :)
