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 TV ready site is one that is designed with couch viewing in mind. That means none of the annoying tiny text that some forgetful developers use with console gaming. Sure, things are usually developed from a PC but it doesn not mean that the end user's face is less than five inches away from the screen.
EDIT: I have my mockup on my TV now and It's looking really good!
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.
