Hi all
So after testing various BBS client applications for use, NetRunner is my absolute fav. I love the look, the layout, the address book editor, and that you don't need to disconnection from an open session to add & edit entries.
The transfer is rock solid too!
So, after locating my favourite BBS client, setting up the address book
entries (there are heaps), I guess my main issue is that its only available
for Windows and Linux.
I'm no developer (anymore) and not fluent in any C-based, pascal, etc languages, but I would love to see NetRunner be made available to macOS at
the very least, and if possible, to Apple iOS and perhaps Android.
I guess, the Linux version *could* be ported to macOS and that's something I would like to explore.
Why? Well, for me, my go to mobile devices are an iPad Air and a MacBook. My desktop device is a Windows PC. What's my workaround? I have a remote desktop server running behind a VPN where I have NetRunner installed, the address
book syncronised using cloud storage with my desktop PC. I remote in from the MacBook or iPad. This is workable, but not the best experience.
Is this something that someone has considered working on?
Is the Linux version able to be ported (with relative ease) to macOS?
I get this may not be the core focus of the MysticBBS project.
Keep up the good work!
PS. Now that work projects have started to settle down a little, I am going
to focus back on getting my BBS all setup the way I would like. Right now,
I'm looking at how to build custom themes, etc.
Dave.
