High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

What about an app would be better than using your web browser on your device?

While I think utilizing the website is best on your computer/laptop (making a post, replying to a thread, etc.) I do think having an app version of this could be better for quick navigational features such as replying to a DM or reading a notification from a thread.

I know MC-Market is wanting to move into the field of freelancing now hence the name change to BuiltByBit, however applications like Fiverr and Linked-In have a similar market and also have applications for the main reason that if you're wanting to contact someone on this site you want to have the best UI whether you're viewing the website version or you're on the go with your phone.

I'm not sure if it'll be worth the investment, but as of now a good portion of your competitors are 10 steps ahead of you with a mobile app.

You could make a web app, that people can technically download, pretty sure Mc-M is made in bootstrap at least looks like it and bootstrap natively supports that.
This is not doable for iOS, as Apple does not approve apps which are browser based due to security issues.

So what do they do for something like Discord? Doesn't that have an app?

As we move forward, I think that the use of BuiltByBit on phones will continue to decrease as we become more focused on resources that need to be downloaded on a computer and our Discord server. The one place I can see a mobile app being relatively beneficial is for our resource authors to view and manage their sales through their phones with proper notifications. Our current workaround of having our Discord bot send out DMs and emails being sent is good enough though, I think. Maybe one day we might consider the possibility of an app, but I'm still very confident that there's nothing that would be provided through an app that isn't already done through the website just as well.

I'll move this to denied, thanks for the suggestion
