It has come to my attention that the latest version of Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS does not start. I have released a small script for Mac/Linux and Windows that will fix the permission error that prevents the app from running. Download from the links below. Be sure to read the Read me first files before you try to use the script. Update 10/14/15: The bwebfix script was originally written for Brandsonic Web mobile 0.9.5, but it will work will all versions of Brandsonic Web mobile. Windows Mac/Linux
I found out on Tuesday that Packix, the repo I've been hosting Brandsonic Web mobile on since ModMyi/ModMy shut down in 2017, is shutting down too. A new repo called Havoc is its successor. I intended to move Brandsonic Web mobile there. I transferred it from Packix to Havoc. I followed all of their guidelines and submitted Brandsonic Web mobile for review and approval. This morning I woke up to an email saying that it was rejected because they are "not interested" in hosting it. I am extremely disappointed and I honestly was not expecting them to reject it.

I outgrew Webs a long time ago and I've been wanting to move to something different, but I haven't found anything else I really like. I am setting up a site on Google Sites that I intend to be temporary. With this site, I don't have the same page limits as I did on Webs. So I plan to have more apps on it than just Brandsonic Web. When the new site is ready I will announce it here and on Twitter. This blog will remain, it is not being affected by the Webs shutdown. Google Sites doesn't resolve the issue of where to host the Brandsonic Web portal. Not sure what I am going to do about that. The portal is hardcoded as the default home page in all versions of Brandsonic Web except for the latest version of Brandsonic Web for Mac. This means that once Webs is shutdown, the portal will no longer be the home page. I don...
