I just started working on a mobile transcoder of my very own. It’s based on Phonifier, so anyone familiar with that set of code should see a lot of the same stuff in madgat. My version doesn’t do a bunch of stuff that Phonifier does do, cookie handling in particular should stand out for anyone who puts the two side by side. But I wanted something that fit my style a bit better than the existing Phonifier code to prepare for some future hackery. And following the “release early, release often” maxim I often browbeat other people with, I’ve decided to chuck it out there at the first sign of quasi-workage.

There’s a whole bunch I would like to say about what I would like to do, but instead of saying it I’m just going to go do it. The only thing I would like to comment on is the name, Madgat. It’s phone keypad friendly, thats why.

Update:

I’ve recently joined up with Russ Beattie at Mowser to continue pulling on this thread, which I think is even more relevant now than it was a year ago.
