Preamble
Break the search, the Internet and all the blog page "ideas for startups," I did not see a single post associated with the creation of the client Habr for mobile devices.
As a result, I decided to describe my vision of the client, or rather its functionality.
I present a client with a fairly simple 3-click interface with high usability, most likely finger-oriented. It is very useful for fans to read the habr in the morning over a cup of coffee, at work, on the train and on the bench near the free wi-fi point.

Thank you
dive for the
advice on the implementation of the mobile client. As a matter of fact, the idea smoothly flows into the development of the client for Android / WM / iPhone OS / Symbian OS
If, nevertheless, there was a very similar idea, and even more so the implemented ones, please notify for immediate closure of the topic.Habraklient's overall functionality
I think that it is not worth overloading the client, I see the functionality as follows:
- Authorization (for users with ak on habr)
- Polycolumn. Not so long ago, I came across a client for Twitter using the same AIR shell, namely TweetDeck .
I really liked their multicolumn structure.

- The ability to sort thematic blogs and company blogs. Since the structure seems to me to be multi-column, then, as a consequence, you can create a new column and add either a separate thematic blog or select a number of blogs to display in it. The posts themselves will be displayed as headers, with the ability to expand to the first n-characters. Clicking on the title takes you to the post itself. It is also possible to create columns:
- Private messages
- Favorites
- User Profile
- My / His (with the display of your or others' blogs and / or comments)
- Favorites
- Specific Themed Blog
- Chosen by you blogs (tick your favorite blogs checkboxes)
- Plus posts (of course for authorized users only)
- Editing your profile
- Add friend
- Commenting
More about the tape posts
Tape posts includes the following functionality:
- By clicking on the post (and as it was written above, the posts are displayed in the ribbon headings) go to the post page in the browser
- Expand and collapse the post. When clicking on a post, it unfolds on the first n characters (up to a maximum of 400, I think)
- Raising and lowering the ranking of the post (as written above under a big question)
- Remove post from tape
- Add post to favorites
- Tweet
- Add to bookmarks (again, it can be, although you can specify the service of bookmarks in the same settings and authorize on it, including)
- Remove post from tape
About comments and comments
Honestly, I can’t think of how to implement comments, I thought about different types of commenting implementation, for example, in tabs or in some other way. Speaking of the interface, if you liked the idea and you want to continue the
bread and circuses , then in the next post I will publish part of the interface for the habraklient.
In custody
Naturally, this is still not a deeply developed idea and we can all together bring this idea to the ideal incarnation and also bring it together perfectly.
Interested invite to cooperate. I myself am a designer, I will take on the development of the interface, the rest is for my future colleague (s) (:
