Isn't it high time for a TV version of this forum, something that's perfect for browsing from a OUYA and fits the same design as OUYA.tv?
We have been asking the forum to make one, so far we haven't gotten a single interest.
iI'l be glad to come up with a design. The lack of said item has always bothered me.
Some mock up designs should hopefully spark some interest, hopefully.
Does .tv mean that a site is TV friendly? And what does TV friendly mean? A TV is just another monitor so what would be the difference?
That has not been the problem. Don't know what TV has to do with anything but I think I may have someone to volunteer for the job of making an app.
My first mockup. This would be the home page.

Hmm... A application that has OUYA.tv, OUYABrew, OUYAForum, and OUYACentral all selectable via the start-up menu may be the best way to go about things. We're the center of the OUYA community so we might as well create a hub where we're all joined together.
A link with a ouya icon that leads to a central hub might be easier than making a app from scratch. Also, that central hub should only link to TV ready versions of all sites.Quote:

I've seen talk about wanting an OUYA app for the forum, which I do think would be nice to have. Hopefully someone will step up to the task to put it together.
You might have to make a new skin to make the whole forum particularly suited for a TV though, but one step at a time. An app would definitely make it easier to slip in a start page like the one designed before accessing the actual forum though. That probably wouldn't be too difficult to have from the start.
