Tapatalk support?

Post by Biont »

Hello site admins,


Would it be possible to add Tapatalk support to this forum/site?
I spend so much time on the go and reading forums, let alone posting on them is quite a hassle in a smartphone browser, which is why I have come to like tapatalk very much. I'm sure I am not alone with this

There is a Wordpress plugin and well as a standalone plugin for phpbb here.

If it's not too much hassle, and you find it a nice addition to the site's accessibility, it would be great if you could add support :D


Thank you for your time.

Hi,
at this moment I don't know if I add support for tapatalk - I have to check their license, api and how this app behave on server side (security).

The app might not be free software, but the plugin is.
I see no reason not to.

Last time I saw a Tapatalk request on a forum, it didn't end well.

Man, what a load of FUD and negativity.


The fact that the app needs a plugin in the forum software itself is a valid concern but it's not even discussed. Instead, they continue to rant about a bunch of ripoff apps that have nothing to do with the real thing and have since been deleted from the store.

I'm sure lgromanowski will carefully consider the implications of running such a plugin in the forum software. I am not aware of any evildoing of the software, but I will understand and accept if an admin decides it's unsecure.
There was a time when Tapatalk did not support SSL, which was a huge issue for many.

The plugin is FOSS.
