If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Depending on how well this one goes, we will probably also make portals for other platforms also - WinMo, BB etc...

Yeah I use a HTC Touch HD, so something compact that can scale up to a decent resolution would be nice.
Metrosexual Narcissist
http://www.michaelflux.com
I personally love the latest round of HTC devices... But man oh man, WinMo is the only thing thats stopping me. If I could get a Touch HD with Android on it, I'd be the first in line. I've been using WinMo since 2005 or so, and do I hate it... Not even the OS itself, but IE in WinMo to mobile browsers is what IE6 is to desktop browsers. A complete train wreck which is a horrible pain to develop anything good for. :(
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to sound like I'm whining, but as someone who works on sites for a living, I can tell you that I spend as much time debugging (or rather breaking my code on purpose so it "works") for IE be it 6, 7 or the upcoming 8, as I do actually writing the code and having it production ready on Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, etc etc etc... all browsers basically...

I understand completely mate, I have written sites from scratch before, and don't relish the idea of going back and hacking my code to make it half decent across all platforms.

Ooo, I approve of this highly - should prove useful through other phones and mediums too. Even on my netbook, I think this format would suit well. Will there be a way to access it if you're not using an iPhone?
Metrosexual Narcissist
http://www.michaelflux.com
I'm still not entirely sure how we'll have the domains set up, but it may very well be something as simple as a m.dannychoo.com/regular url. Its just that if someone visits from an iPhone it will go to this version by default unless user states otherwise.

You know, honestly I'm not entirely sure. I personally don't own a BlackBerry so I'm not too familiar with their UI guidelines, but depending on how well this goes though we will also probably make versions for other platforms as well.

QUESTION: For the iPhone/iPod Touch version, will will the portal allow users to make and leave comments and upload posts?
Metrosexual Narcissist
http://www.michaelflux.com
I'm not entirely sure about uploading posts, we still didn't discuss that part of it. But you will definitely be able to leave comments. Plus keep in mind that it, like the regular website would constantly be updated and polished so depending on the user feedback it will improve, add new features etc...

I look forward to this. I use the current page on my iPhone, but very reluctantly.
I'd also be eager to read any comments on the development experience. I hope to start working on an iPhone interface for a particular platform I'm using after I get a couple of other projects settled, and I'm always curious as to the experiences of others.

Not at the moment, but depending on how well this works, it's definitely something we'll look into.

That'd definitely be neat. I thought about getting an iphone instead of a blackberry when I got my new service a couple months ago, but the only option for a carrier here is AT&T and . . .well, AT&T is rather poo.

Thats it. I'm going to buy an iPod touch. With the dannychoo.com app and the Eva clock, I just have to get one now...
http://orange.exofire.net
So is this a mobile version of the site or is it an application for the site (much like, say, the Facebook application)? From what I've read it's kind of ambiguous. The mockup image is making it look more like an application.
Also, how will it support users logging in?
And another random thing: I just noticed that the battery meter's a number, so this is a mockup jailbroken iPhone? =P
Metrosexual Narcissist

A bit of both. And yes. jailbroken iPod Touch :p

I've been doing research on how to convert a site to be operable with an iphone. Any good articles out there you can point me to that I might of missed with a google search?
Metrosexual Narcissist
http://www.michaelflux.com
Really... not really. I mean its not as if there is some universal one click formula for everything. Each site has to be tailored individually depending on what the primary focus of the site is, who is the end reader, what's the point of the site etc...
All I could suggest is that the user experience of your site should be consistent with the overall user experience of the device its being viewed on. And for that what you could read are Apple's UI guidelines for developing webapps, and apps in general for the iPhone. Can be found at developer.apple.com
unemployed machinist.. yeah
Now my question is this... thinking about getting the Blackberry storm.. will this be compatible with that as well? I like touch screens an all but Iphones.. just don't rub me the right way.
Only good it did for me so far was looking up one not so good soft-core porn site... hardly useful that is I say.. Bah silly Iphone.
Metrosexual Narcissist
http://www.michaelflux.com
We certainly won't block you from viewing it on the Storm, but with that said, don't expect everything to work 100% right off the bat. As neither of us uses a Storm, we can't really even test it atm. But with that said, yes, eventually we will try to make it as nice as possible on all devices.
unemployed machinist.. yeah
Well, I'll be getting my storm reasonably soon.. When you launch that new version.. I will happily let you know, what sort of response I have about it.
with as much detail as you need.

Metrosexual Narcissist
http://www.michaelflux.com
We certainly won't block you from viewing it using other devices, but don't expect it to work perfect at launch as at the moment we're focusing on the iPhone/iPod Touch and aren't taking too much time to test it on other devices. what phone do you use?
Student
I don't own iPhone or iPod but this development could be beneficial even to me as I have noticed that my Symbian smartphone opens pages meant for iPhone pretty well. It currently have trouble opening DannyChoo (if I don't use Opera mini).
