Well I'm going to be starting from scratch, but it will be in Java.

I was going to recommend Rust. Here is why:

"The biggest — and some would say most vital — difference between Rust and C++ is the emphasis on writing safe code.

With “safe code,” objects are managed by the programming language from the beginning to end. The developer doesn’t do any pointer arithmetic or manage memory, as can be necessary in C or C++ programs.

For a given object the proper amount of memory is promised to be allocated — or, reserved — for the object. When accessing this object, it is impossible to accidentally access a memory location that is out of bounds. And when its job is done, the object will automatically be deallocated by the system, by which I mean the programmer will not have to manually “free” or unreserve the memory used by that object.

With unmanaged code, not only is it harder to write code that is correct and bug-free, but leaves code far more vulnerable to security threats. A particularly common threat is a buffer overflow, where a user can enter more information than can be contained within the program’s allotted memory space, allowing a malicious user to modify memory in parts of the system not under direct control of the code."

I honestly don't have a problem using the forums normally on my phone. I don't even use Tapatalk. But it would be awesome if someone could help put together an app for PFDC.

Maybe we can all contribute and do a kickstarter for the PFDC app? I honestly have no clue as to how creating an app works, but I assume it takes a long time and effort in making a decent one.

Easiest would be to make an web app, or a 'combination' of web and native such as react native.

I'm still taking baby steps, but maybe in a year or so when I'm more experienced with Web development and actually learning frameworks in depth, I might give it shot if I have time.

FWIW, There are peeps from Bangladesh, India,etc... on upwork.com that can probably do this for about $300-500.

Exactly, some of my friends who've made apps gave a small percentage to people in India to do it for them.

I know how to make apps on android and ios if anyone wants me to make it or help!

Open sourcing the future app on GitHub is the best way in my opinion.
