Hey everyone,
I've been working with Sencha to create an QBN mobile web application. Here are the features so far:
— view all posts
— login / logout
— reply to all posts
— image cache/resizing
— reverse pagination (update coming soon)Coming soon (about a week):
— broadcast a new topic
— normal pagination w/ dog-ear
— more account information displayed
— better video integration
— live update of topics listingOnce a lot of the functionality is figured out I'll work on skinning the application, and working on making the content a little easier to read.
It should work on any Webkit-based browser. So that's iPhone, Android, Pre, etc...
Please post any bugs you encounter (screenshots are great!)
Thanks!

Updated from the last topic...
My server is a middle-man for information being sent back and forth to QBN — it has to work this way since QBN doesn't have an API or any real support for this. However, I'm not storing ANY of your information, passwords, message, etc... other than Google Analytics for future updates (mostly interested in what phones to support).
Still suspicious? Don't log in. :)

Notes, where are they? They are a significant part of the threads...
Can't you move the browser address bar a notch, so your top bar sit on top of the screen (like gmail does)? Right now there's a lot of screen estate wasted because of it.
You're heading on the right direction. keep the updates coming

It crashes if launched from homescreen.

looks fine on iphone 3G OS3.2
its pretty slow but i guess that's because it's running through your site.
damn you QBN for not giving us an API.
we should all go on strike until they release an API or something...

Hey everyone,
Big updates this morning!
— Pagination
— Post reply order changed to match QBN
— Latest topic or topic reply goes to the top of the topics view list (auto-update)
— Many performance updates and bug fixes
— Now using Sencha 0.94 Beta (was running on 0.93)What's next?
— Dog-ear / bookmarking
— Notes
— Updated content display
— Updated image display
— Updated video playbackThere is a bug right now that if you have a topic dog-eared, the pagination will start at page 1, instead of on the correct page. This will be corrected when I get the dog-ear implemented later this week.
Let me know if you run into any bugs. Sencha is still in Beta, and this new release seemed to fixed a lot. I can't wait for the official launch. :)
Thanks!
Mike
