Daniel 417 Posted October 26, 2018 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 6 1 Share this post Link to post
Lars Fosdal 1792 Posted October 26, 2018 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! 4 Share this post Link to post

NIRAV KAKU 0 Posted October 26, 2018 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. ☺️ Share this post Link to post
Lars Fosdal 1792 Posted October 26, 2018 @NIRAV KAKU - have you tried the site on a mobile browser? Share this post Link to post
NIRAV KAKU 0 Posted October 26, 2018 Yes, I am using it on Firefox Rocket right now. Share this post Link to post

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. 😉 Share this post Link to post
Michael Puff 18 Posted October 26, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post

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

Michael Puff 18 Posted October 26, 2018 If the site is not opened, it can't send notifications of course. Share this post Link to post
John Kouraklis 94 Posted October 26, 2018 I use RSS feed reader for numerous websites and I really like it. Every new post in one place. Glad that DP offers that 1 Share this post Link to post

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. Share this post Link to post
Michael Puff 18 Posted October 26, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post
