Designer News
Where the design community meets.
almost 7 years ago from Sam Soffes, Developer & Designer at Nothing Magical
The app you downloaded was probably MobileDN by Alisdair (https://news.layervault.com/u/201/alasdair-monk) and up until recently there was no DN API that's why it was limited in function ;)
Sam, why build a entirely new app and don't team up? You're both nice guys as far as I can tell from Twitter, DN, etc. :)
FYI there is no way to post a new story via the API yet, but you can now leave comments and vote on things, which would be a nice improvement.
As Benjamin says, the API to do all this was only very recently released. The good news is that the next version of MobileDN supports all of this (and many other things discussed in this thread) :) – it's waiting for review (7 days now) so should be reviewed very, very soon.
Here's a sneak peek ;)
Really excited about this, such a great app Alasdair. Thanks for the hard work to help with my DN addiction :)
great work! hopefully they update the API so we can post too ;)

Where the design community meets.
Designer News is a large, global community of people working or interested in design and technology.
Have feedback?
I was thinking about this recently and downloaded an app in the app store and was disappointed all I could do was read news -
I really want to be able to post from the app / I read most of my news and get inspiration on my phone now a days - posting from app is huge for me.
gesture based voting is great
Need to be able to comment and reply (may need to reformat threaded replies)
push notification if my post gets on the top stories
share to twitter / fb for all stories
