Outline/Timeline in mobile apps is "on the table" for a while now. We are looking at different ways that we could make it happen. The thing is - it's not as trivial as it may seem. Facebook, Google+, etc. actually have a much easier task - they don't have to account for 3-rd party modules within their apps. We do. Moreover, we have to account for potential configuration differences and develop mobile-outline accordingly. For example, we can't just show "member posted a new event" see more until there's a fully-functional Events module for mobile app - all links need to work within the app and need to provide a meaningful experience for common use-cases. Basically, adding a proper Timeline to mobile apps commands adding at least twice as much functionality and versatility as we have now. We are keen to do that, but need to know exactly how before we start coding.
Hi Andrew! I am a stand alone app developer and have some ideas for Boonex. Maybe we can chat sometime. We have implemented a lot of additional functionality in the apps. Skype me sometime. Thanks for reading the comment! Skype Name: TatsFinder
I completely understand what you are saying Andrew. It would be practically impossible to account for all 3rd party module interactions. I do have a suggestion for that. I do not see having a mobile 'Outline' so no need to use that term anymore. The 'Timeline' is what I am referring to here. Previously when there was a 'wall' instead of the timeline, you have the ability to view yours and your friends posts on one wall.
I think for this mobile Timeline, you should consider: 1.) Being able to see more view yours and your friends posts/activity 2.) Restrict the 'links' available to click in the timeline posts (3rd party solution). For example, we have a mobile photos, blogs, profiles, and videos so ONLY those links should be click-able. 3.) Allow a way to post text comment on ANY content. 4.) Allow the ability to upload photos to the timeline (since we only have the ability to upload photos at this time).
From here you can always add additional features as the mobile apps grow, but at least we would have a 'great start' to offer our members a mobile app that is more interaction than 'read-only'.
Well, hard to say... we discuss it almsot every day, have some sketches and ideas, but it unclear when exactly we will be working on it. Likely in the next mobile version upgrade, but not sure when yet.
