I have been working on a Android client for Dreamwidth and LiveJournal based sites and am wondering what you would look for from the post entry screen.

ETA: The lack of security options as a choice in the poll was a total oversight *g*, I did totally think of that, and was of course going to include it.

Thank you.

I would probably have your babies if you could make an app that didn't force close every two minutes. I've been a dedicated Android user for two years across three phones (G1, Samsung Behold 2, Mytouch Slide)* and every app out there is failuriffic for LJ. I haven't looked for DW because I have been so disappoint by the quality in LJ apps.

*Yes, I do have phoneitis.

I find that most LiveJournal client applications ( for anything, not just phones ) tend to suck horribly. That annoys the fuck out of me so much, so yeah, I am going to try and make sure the client works as well as it can *g*

[monsterqueen]

When it's made I'll be sure to test it across devices for the most optimal user experience!

Seriously, I love cell phones. ;~;

(I was kidding about the babies though, I tend to eat my young.)

I do hope to have a minimal test version by the end of the month ( but given how busy I am... don't hold me to that )

I would be happy to help test! I have a G1 running 1.6.

(I think it's really cool that you're developing this--thanks!)

Please fill out the poll at http://espost.dreamwidth.org/585.html so I can have a more centralized list of what devices you have access to for testing.
