Duty to God - Windows 8
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 3:21 pm
Just had an awesome thought. A Duty to God (Personal Progress) app actually becomes a very viable idea with Windows 8. Both parents and youth could easily access it on the desktop which makes it easy to do together at home, something that can be difficult on a smart phone or tablet, especially if youth don't have them. And it would still be readily accessible on mobile devices for parents and for youth if they do have them. Really would be awesome.
I realize that perhaps the biggest reason not to do it or to wait is that something like this could be deployed on the internet instead. Three potential rebuttals of that argument (which could be used generally against Windows 8 apps):
(1) they can be accessed without internet access with data stored/updated locally and then synced and
(2) no need to worry about browser issues and
(3) internet sites are difficult to access and use on mobile devices--again dealing with browsers--whereas a native app can be much more usable.
