The plans for developing and iPhone app are getting more clear. After I have been asking the community of the wished features I put them together in one:

- Post entries / comments
- Read "Reading page"
- Read inbox and send messages
- Manage profile
- Granting access / subscribing to users
- Multiple account support
- editing comments / entries
- iPad friendly

Some of the features still have to be defined in more detail and I am currently not sure if all of them can be implemented within time, this does also depend on the protocol and how much functionality is already provided by it. Extending the protocol is no problem, but will increase the time needed for a feature, therefore I currently check out the protocol in more detail.

If anyone misses a feature, I still appreciate further comments...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

How much are you planning to do for reading your reading page? Will you be able to open a particular entry in a new tab, read the comments and reply, or will it just offer the option to open a particular entry in your default web browser?

My intention is to show only the titles of the entries on your reading page. When you tap on that title you get to the entry, can read it and the comments to the entry, as well as leaving an own comment. You can then navigate back to your reading list via the navigation bar, which always stays on top.

It would not make sense to open the entry in the web browser, because, for the iphone, this would mean you leave the app and have to restart it to get back to your reading page.

Hope that answers your question. I try to create some user interface examples (as pictures) so that you can get a better understanding of my intentions concerning the UI.
