"Personally, though, I think the app would be better if it wasn't just direct links to the articles on LRC. If it was styled in a more iphone friendly manner, it would be cool."

I agree, the formatting is pretty bad. Still, if it's like any other iPhone app there will an update every two minutes with improvements and bug fixes.

SouthernLibery,

That would be really cool. Especially if the user could select which sources to include in the aggregate.

I already use Reeder to read my rss feeds (which is a great rss reader for the ipad/iphone), which I find to be better than having seperate apps for each site. But I could see people being into a libertarian/anarcho-capitalist app like the one you describe.

And 'left anarchists', for all their faults, don't support disorder or chaos. Whatever that even means.

I'd say disrespecting private property rights is an incredibly strong way of supporting disorder and chaos, whether or not that's how they define it. I'm fine with socialists/communists if they're also voluntaryists, but I haven't met any. Then again I haven't met any aliens but I believe they're real.

Personally, though, I think the app would be better if it wasn't just direct links to the articles on LRC. If it was styled in a more iphone friendly manner, it would be cool.

This sentence gave me a good idea. We should all work on a libertarian/anarcho-capitalist iPhone App that directs users to the most current, interesting articles relating to our beliefs, taken from websites like the Mises Institute, Lew Rockwell, Reason, Anti-War, etc.

I think it fits the attitude of LRC pretty well. "This is how we fell, and if you don't like it that's too bad" I like it ;)

Personally, though, I think the app would be better if it wasn't just direct links to the articles on LRC. If it was styled in a more iphone friendly manner, it would be cool.

anyway, it's a good start.

But the Anarchist A looks cool.

I think people should grow a pair of balls, if they are that worried about the A offending conservatives.

And 'left anarchists', for all their faults, don't support disorder or chaos. Whatever that even means.

I think we should use whatever words and symbols we want.

I didn't even think of that. That works, too. Haha. I don't know who to e-mail or I'd do it as a suggestion.

Why not use the Lew Rockwell logo?

Lew Rockwell iPhone App

There's a new Lew Rockwell app for the iPhone. In case you haven't seen it, you can check it out here. The only setback may be the anarcho-punk-oriented "circled A". It may be off-putting to certain people getting into libertarianism considering how the anarchy A has a very strict correlation with chaos and destruction from the left anarchists. I was thinking about sending an e-mail to the developer just in case he or she didn't think of the possible consequences in terms of the projected audience, but I figured I'd ask what everyone else thinks first. The anarcho-capitalist flag is always a good symbol since it doesn't immediately arouse that fear of communism and disorder in newcomers.
