Forum users are asking if I can provide Tapatalk support on my forum. I am just posting it here for your consideration.
Tapatalk support?

That's a piece of shit. Why would I provide support for spam software that keeps bugging me to install it when I'm just trying to read a lambda forum post accessed from google?
Wedge has responsive mode.
Best I could do is write my own android app and make it non disruptive... But I have neither the time nor the motivation.

Personally I think the mobile theme is more than sufficient (and preferable from a consistency point of view).
Not putting miles on your Ferrari is like not having sex with your Girlfriend so she'll be more desirable to her next Boyfriend

There's still a huge difference between Tapatalk and a responsive mobile theme. It's about integration.

I love the mobile theme (using it right now) but tapatalk has some nice features. You get notifications from the forum and its a bit faster (in my opinion). But there many things i dont like on tapatalk, it only provides access to the most core features. Implementing thoughts wouldnt be possible.
But still its a good thing, perhaps someone will create a plugin for it.

Also Tapatalk would need to implement support for wedge itself.

This is the one thing that's preventing me from migrating my forum to wedge. About ~80% of my users enter from tapatalk.
From my point of view, Tapatalk Inc should be responsable for developing the plugin. After all, they're making money out of it. Unfortunately, I don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon... :(

It's similar to websites that ask you to download their own app, or websites that launch a popup asking you what you thought about them, preventing you from reading them in the first place...

It's not a POV thing. It's the fundamental way Tapatalk is built: they add support for your software, and individual forum owners add their spam splash to their forum. The forum software author has no say in it, except "Tapatalk sucks! I don't frigging want a splash screen on a forum I'll just be spending 10 seconds on to check out a message!"Quote from Cataphractus on September 20th, 2014, 11:19 AM This is the one thing that's preventing me from migrating my forum to wedge.

I've been mailed last month by Tapatalk about why I wasn't using their tool anymore. I answered that I migrated to Wedge and that it would be great if they could make their software compatible and they answered me "Interesting. Do you have a contact there?".
Shall I give your email Nao or what would you prefer me to reply ? I understand that they must develop themselves the compatibility, of course, but would you be able and want to talk with them if they had questions ?

I'd be willing to help but only if they promise never to release any intrusive incentives such as a full page ad or an alert our whatever. A small banner at the top is okay. Seriously I tend to leave forums that have these splash screens asking me to install Tapatalk before I can even view a post... They're making money off this, not admins or users!

They don't require you to advertise. I'm currently using XenForo for my current board project; the official Tapatalk add-on has neat checkmarks for "disturb your users by offensively advertising Tapatalk if they're using a mobile device".
(Of course, the labels are different.)
