Ask HN: Why hasn't anyone made a mobile app for Phabricator?
4 comments
Phabricator is built by 2 people (I am the designer half of the team) so bandwidth for a mobile app is essentially nill. It is designed & built fully responsive though, and light on the wire. You should be able to use the web version on your phone with no issues.
Well, you guys have made a product my team loves. I will look into making a simple android widget for my company this week based on phabricator's mobile webpage. High likelyhood that I'll be thwarted by my lack of Java skills, but if not I will definitely let you know how it goes. Thanks for all your work.
What is Phabricator? Any link?
Thanks marvel_boy. As I learned this week, it is a software project management tool.

This looks like a very nimble Jira/Confluence replacement (of sorts). Has anyone got any experience moving from the Atlassian products to Phabricator? I'd be interested to hear how you found the migration and what the gotchas are.
How much are you willing to pay for a Phabricator app?
Actually, I was thinking of making it myself to learn more about mobile apps as it's been awhile since I made my first and only.
Though, as I looked into Phabricator I realized it was very extensive, and I was surprised and very curious why a mobile app didn't exist. I thought maybe there was a reason I didn't understand yet.

edit, thanks marvel_boy for asking for some more info:
