Hello,

So far quite like your site as mentioned in my previous post. It would be quite nice to be also able to use it on the move. Have you thought about mobile devices/ iphone support? To really make this work it would have to have offline capability I think.

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, iphone support has breen brought up, recognized as a great opportunity, but ultimately it is currently not feasible because everything is done in flash, and there is no flash for iphone (yet). Though with the new flash iphone dev thing where you can make a specific application that loads a flash webpage, maybe it would become doable soon?

Or maybe just release an API and let the community do the rest ;-)

Adobe has recently announced that Flash CS5 has the ability to compile Flash code to native iPhone applications. This has excited us greatly, as it means we'll be able to do an iPhone app ourselves using the same code.

The beta for that was supposed to come out later this year. Hopefully we can get in on that and start working on tweaks for a native app before too long!

Also, with Flash 10.1 coming to lots of mobile devices that will be released next year and later, we'll get support on those devices much more easily as well. I think mobile Skritter will be knees of bees.

Can't wait!!! :D

The Community! nice name for a pack of moochers that want to steal the great job done by Skritter. Shall the community (why sounds so alike to comunism) be so smart why did they not create or develop this marvelous idea before.

The "community" is basically all the Skritter's user, you included...moochers ? you have such a low opinion of yourself.

The Skritter community is great. You guys have designed so much of the software, directly or indirectly. You've also created a ton of lists and vocab words, corrected a jillion definition mistakes, typos, and mistaken stroke orders.

It remains to be seen how much the community could contribute in terms of direct software development, like plugins and supporting apps. Faceleg created the Skritter Agent, which is pretty sweet:

We haven't been able to build much in the way of API or data availability to enable that, but we do want to (once we get a few spare breaths, you know).

I would love to at least have the definition review synced to my iPhone. This makes the best complement of offline/online studying. And it would probably be a good way to drive users to skritter and the online drawing.

Right now I do this with iAnki, but getting rid of the export/import sh*t would be the best!

I've evaluated a lot of crappy flashcards and SRS apps for the iPhone and there would be no problem in making something much better that also synced with the user database on skritter. With the new grading buttons and definition practice - this is great.

The Southpark Avatar Creator is one of the first iPhone Apps done in Flash, the fist Flash-Apps are already in the App store so when will you start working on a skritter-iPhone-App?

Those precursor apps were done by people with early access to trial builds of CS5. We've signed up to test it when it hits beta in the next few months, but as of now it's still unavailable.

I am looking forward to iphone Skritter so much. so very, very, much.
