WeTheApp beta

Released WeTheApp beta a mobile Constitution web app using the U.S. National Archives original transcription. Written with HTML5/CSS3 browsers in mind using Boilerplate, the JQTouch framework, jQuery and the PhoneGap mobile dev. platform.

Be independent and know your rights!
The idea behind WeTheApp was to develop an app with a simple interface that would work on both mobile and > 480p. As the mobile device market becomes crosscut by OS and hardware fragging an open approach insures some level of interoperability that is reasonably platform independent. I say reasonably because, though adoption is advancing rapidly, HTML5/CSS3 browser support diminishes the further one strays from iOS nirvana.

To do for next time:

• Create separate stylesheet and improve layout for >480p
• Carve up the Amendements into smaller chunks perhaps accordianize
• Add annotations and notes as floating tips
• Differentiate internal<=>external links and make them sane by adding ext cancel
• Keep building and testing the HTML5 media layer
• Further testing on Android and Symbian
