Disqus Goes Mobile, Launching iPhone And Android Apps

August 19, 2010 by Darnell Clayton

Disqus, a company who is known by some for perfecting the art of blog comments has updated their commenting interface in order to make it friendlier for mobile devices.

While the new interface makes commenting through a smartphone almost as easy as through a notebook, Disqus has announced grander plans for users with iPhone or Android OS devices.

The new improved Disqus neocortex has the ability to identify whether you’re browsing on a desktop or mobile device. For our publishers with mobile sites, this activates a new attractive, clutter free, optimized theme for mobility.

This new theme is made possible with a new theming architecture behind the scenes. It’s a hint to some of the very cool things we’re going to be doing with new themes on Disqus. […]

For you website-runners, we’re getting ready to roll out mobile tools to help maintain your community on the go. Think iPhone and Android apps. More on that soon! (Official Disqus Blog)

While the company has not hinted on whether they will create an iPad app (or even an app for Blackberry and Palm Pre fans), this news probably means the end of DisqusPro, who offered users a way to moderate their threads via iPhone.

Previously Disqus has been heavily courting Blogspot users, as well as challenging WordPress’s Intense Debate by launching a Gravatar like button (which mimics WP.com’s version).

    I was wondering when disqus would provide an iPhone app to moderate comments. You were right and I see they have submitted one to Apple for approval. I couldn’t find it in the app store today but hopefully soon.

    I love Disqus and use it from my iphone6. Though when I downloaded Gif Keyboard I found Disqus would let me copy a gif but not let me paste it. I would love to be able to download a Disqus app that lets me do this.

    Question; why did disqus try to sneak thier app into my device via a email labeled sprint? And why did it install in google settings instead of my apps list? The whole things stinks just like google!
