Welcome to the English speaking Delphi-PRAXiS

[Daniel 417]

Google+ used to be a great place for the international Delphi-community. But it will be shut down next year, so there was a need for a new home.

The German speaking community “Delphi-PRAXiS” exists since 2002 and became one of the most important Delphi-communities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Now we want to make the next step: We created an English community parallel to our existing German community. We all wish that this community will experience a similar success as our German community.

 

If you already are a German speaking Delphi-PRAXiS user, you can use your existing account, but you have to reset your password.

Please visit the following page and follow the instructions: https://www.delphipraxis.net/pages/clone_account.html

Thank you, Daniel, for opening the International Delphi-PRAXiS forums for the G+ Delphi Developer refugees! In my opinion, this is the best possible outcome from having to leave G+. We strengthen as a community, and get access to a properly managed, fast, independent, ad-free forum with proper formatting of source code, RSS support, good UI and that actually works well on mobile too!

I am a happy coder today!

Thanks Daniel and Lars. Very good move for the Delphi community. I'll be around.

[Michael Puff 18]

Glad to have you here @Marco Cantu.

Thanks Daniel and everyone else working hard on it. Looking forward to see this design coming to the German community too.

Full ACK.

The modern Design looks nice.

Good job

Sorry to be a downer... But something that's not app based doesn't really cut it in today's day and age. The idea of having to go to a website for seeing posts, not having push notification isn't intuitive... especially when we have all come from something like G+. Just my opinion. Finally, we do what everyone wants. ☺️

[Lars Fosdal 1791]

@NIRAV KAKU - have you tried the site on a mobile browser?

[NIRAV KAKU 0]

Yes, I am using it on Firefox Rocket right now.

This forum works well on mobile devices, too. You don't need an app.

Yes it does and I am not suggesting it doesn't. However, the idea of not having an app based, group focused, non push notification based forum for Delphi just doesn't sit well with me. 

 

Maybe I just need to give it more time... It may grow on me. 😉

[Michael Puff 18]

Well. I don't like apps for each and every website. I am for example reading three or four newspapers online. And I don't want to install an app for every newspaper.

Notifications work on desktop browsers, too.

Okay, so I signed in from Chrome (Android) and it asked for notifications which I allowed. Bookmarked the site too. 

 

Now I am going to shut my browser and wait to see if I get notifications. If I do... I am a happy man!

Happy? 😉

Unfortunately no.

 

No notifications unless I open chrome and visit the site... Which is the way I guess it should work anyway. 

[Michael Puff 18]

If the site is not opened, it can't send notifications of course.

[John Kouraklis 94]

I use RSS feed reader for numerous websites and I really like it. Every new post in one place.

 

Glad that DP offers that

Mh yes. But from what i understood, regarding the Pushapi in chrome, it can work in the background. However atm on my chrome(android 7), it doesn't seem like it actually creates push notifications but only blends in a custom overlay while i browse the site.

[Michael Puff 18]

Hm. OK. I fear you have to live with that. I am pretty sure there will be no DP app in the near future. Sorry.

[Markus Kinzler 174]

But you can build it yourself.
