I thought I would post this and start getting some feedback:
You should be able to browse all the content on QBN. There are no "pages", just keep scrolling to load more content. A big change you might notice is that posts load with the most recent on top. There are some bugs I'm aware of that should be tightened up sometime this week. It's also all default styles for now. Login, Broadcast, Respond, and Notes coming soon.
Built in Sencha, so should be all set with any webkit browser (iPhone, Adnroid, Pre, etc...).

You're probably aware of this, but one potential bug is that images show up at original size (check the sci fi thread to see what I mean);)

Lovely stuff! Thanks so much dude! very impressed.
Its funny because here on QBN.com i always find myself wanting 2 hit boxes on the topic button (like Pic of the day), the left side taking you to the first page, and the right side taking you to the last page.
Now with your app taking you to the last post and reading backwards, i personally find a bit weird. Maybe taking you to last 10 posts in the usual chronological order?
I do think having pages would be beneficial also, is that something you would include but are just getting started at the moment?
Thanks again, its about time someone did it, someone technically minded enough anyway (cancels me out nicely, *stretches* ahhh :))

I'm not sure about pages yet. I'm still getting use to the screen real estate that's available on mobile devices. :)
It's not meant to be a replacement for QBN — it's something to keep you busy on the bus, train, lecture, etc... I figured it would be easier to show everything new that has happened instead of having to scroll/click to the last page and deal with having page buttons (sometimes up to 1,600+ pages as with pic of the day).
Nothing is set in stone though, I'm just getting started. Thank you for all the feedback so far!

yes, but if/when you include login / dog-ear, the viewing experience become the same, more natural. so the "normal" order would make more sense. Maybe adding a sort button (or preference of some sort)
I wont bother you with features / demands because everything you'll do, It will be just fine for me.

do a lot of people use the dog-ear feature? I never really noticed it until now. :)
would be nice to know if that would be worth supporting down the road.
