Make an app for build orders and it also has a timer that calls out what to build. That would be epicly amazing as I dont like to memorize or write down BOs. This app will help all the nooblets out there by calling out what to build.


Edit: someone already mentioned this. Ps if you dont make this app i will eventually, once im free and not lazy.

What I would want from an android app in order of priority would be:

1. The ability to easily watch streams fullscreen in ANY orientation, depending on how I hold my phone.
Firstly, it's kind of annoying to browse tl.net for streams in the web browser, when I try to hit the fullscreen button of the flash thingie, I get taken to twitch.tv more often than not because I did not hit the button.
Secondly, when I go into fullscreen, the screen does not change orientation when I tilt my phone.

2. The ability to easily monitor blip.tv and youtube channels.
First take a look at http://blip.tv/day9tv/rss . It has a MP4 media file attached to every post, which would be natively supported by the "Streaming Media Player", but there is no fucking app on android that correctly displays all media files attached to a RSS stream, only the first one (in this case the .flv). The blip.tv site does not have a mobile version and the flash interface for the videos is ridiculously bad on the mobile web browser.
Secondly, youtube channels are not that high of a priority since it works very well on Android already, but it could be included for the sake of having all VODs in one place.

I personally don't need anything else.

as all programmers do i have a ton of other things going on but I'd say I'm well along the way, the app is more of a shell with a browser in it because you kind of have to do that for streaming video from the internet. I'm at a crossroads whether or not to scrap a native app and just do a webapp optimized for different platforms depending on the useragent string.

keep in mind if you want to make something natively for iPhone its gonna be a PITA. so its good you are sticking to android. in fact viewing streaming video in the iPhone is such a pain considering the fact that mobile safari opens videos in an embedded 'standard video viewing app' thingie.

The most important thing for me are (as close as possible to live) results.

At work I've always the TL event thread open and refresh it every time I can to see the latest results in currently ongoing tournaments.
I'd love to have a feature that gives me notice about just finished maps including the result.

Second place would be the TL Upcoming events list. Not really a calendar but just a few events of the next maybe 36 hours.

Third place would be streams. Like the TL stream list to the right. But I rarely watch stream on my phone and I don't watch VODs at all.
