Last year, qz and I were on a couple of threads talking about building a REST api for the game that would make rebuilding the UI and app-ifying the game easier. We haven't got much done beyond mapping out the spec for it, but I spent a little time over the last month or two starting on a better UI framework and wanted to share it for feedback as I move beyond the POC phase and into the design phase.
Here's some screenshots of the desktop, tablet and phone experiences. It's got an example Build page, Public Market page and some screenshots of the War Room attacking flow.

So under the hood, it's built with React and uses Redux to control the state. Using React-Native, we should be able to run the web and apps under a single codebase and single API, which was a big part of what made me want to actually put time into developing this. :)
Design-wise, we've used Google's Material Design as the jumping off point for this design. It's still a little bland right now but the general concept is an improvement over our current UI and a major improvement over the mobile UI, IMO. The tablet/phone size menus have worked pretty well on touch devices from my limited personal testing. It's pretty neat to flip through pages -- the static screenshots don't do it justice, but it's all I have for now :p
Anyway, if anyone has an feedback or comments feel free to reach out or post them here.
Thanks!
