KhanApp - Mobile App for Khan Academy
- bretpiatt 16y agoI like the UI, how I navigate to the subjects but the videos aren't playing on my iPad. Another suggestion would be to allow people to setup different students so I can share the iPad with my kids (or teachers can have one in a classroom and share with many students). Great start, please let us know as you update it.
- stan_d 16y agoYes, the YouTube videos are behaving weird on the iPad. They work on iPhone and Android ok though. If I understand your suggestion correctly, the app should allow for setting up of a customized curriculum?
- bretpiatt 16y agoYeah, let me create users and when you open the app, pick a user to start watching videos with then record which videos they've watched so you can keep track of where you're at.
- jws 16y agoContent-Type: web; charset=utf-8 On desktop Safari that turns into a download of your HTML to my Downloads folder.
- samratjp 16y agoLooks very nice. I take it you must be using jQuery Mobile or something along those lines? (Minor problem I've encountered - for some reason, I can't land on your homepage from Safari Version 5.0.3 (6533.19.4) on OS X 10.6.5.)
- billpaetzke 16y agoSame problem here, OSX-Safari thinks it's a download of some sort. The page never opens. You should fix this ASAP. Page loads on OSX-Chrome though.
- samratjp 16y agoAgreed. But it does loads on Chrome.
- stan_d 16y agoThe safari problem is now fixed. Yes, jQuery Mobile was used. It was wonderful. Still has some rough edges though.
- samratjp 16y agoThanks, it works! Still cool use of jQuery Mobile though.
- stephenou 16y agoI've not seen that many apps that utilize jQuery Mobile so far, but your implementation is pretty wonderful - I only need 2 taps to get to the actual video.
- kamens 16y agoThis is absolutely gorgeous. You've gotta come work more closely w/ the team so we can keep this tightly integrated w/ the direction of the whole site. Shoot me an email at ben@khanacademy.org
- stan_d 16y agoThanks! I will shoot you an email. I discovered while doing this that KA videos are not avail. as HTML5 videos using the iframe embed code. Maybe not all videos on YT are converted yet.
- Groxx 16y agoInstall via OpenAppMkt, whose "Learn More" link describes it as: >OpenAppMkt is an app store for HTML5 mobile apps. The easiest way to discover and install mobile webapps on the Open Web, where freedom reigns and dreams come true. It's only missing an "... And unicorns!" finisher. Interesting site, however; I'll have to look through it more closely some time... edit: wait, what am I saying? I can add my own! http://www.cornify.com/ http://www.cornify.com/
- genieyclo 16y agoAwesome work, now forced to go learn jquerymobile because of your app! A little better than the offline packs of videos released by Ximarc, which are still very nice for offline usage.
- magicofpi 16y agoIt looks really nice from the screenshots, but I can't get it to run on my iPad (running 4.2.1), even after restarting. Scrolling/tapping on any table rows will cause it to crash.
- djb_hackernews 16y agoWait, if it's a mobile webapp, why do I need to install openappmkt? Shouldn't my mobile browser be all that I need?
- adam0101 16y agoScrolling on iPhone 4.2 causes Safari crash.
