Hi there.  I was invited to Google several times over the last year as part of a group of Publishers and one of my major take aways is that AMP is a big deal in the Google sphere. Both for SEO and monitization. 

Does IPB have any intention to make topics linked from Google Search on Mobile, AMP friendly?  It would be a huge win speed wise and SEO ranking wise, relative to their mobile first approach. Same comment on Pages.

WordPress is killing us since they have a plug-in to bring AMP to their pages with relative ease. Many of my competitors use both that and YOAST quite successfully.

Couldn't agree more. On my Wordpress blog, the majority of traffic is mobile and any google search on mobile autmoatically retrieves the AMP version of my site. 

Need this too

To double down, I'm not talking about an interactive page... just page 1.  You can "click to read more:" and go to page 2 or more.  Since page 1 gets all the link juice we want it to be as fast as possible == AMP.

Would anybody be willing to create a plugin for this?  

I really would like to bump this up. I feel like it's a no-brainer to add some type of AMP support in IPB sooner, rather than later.

The AMP support should already have been implemented but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be implement any time soon 😞

Bum bump.  This would be huge!  IPB is sooo heavy on mobile.  This would help a lot. 

Well I think I would much prefer pwa, read this:

Google disagrees.  And they provide $$ to keep the lights on for the Publishers that run the sites.  That matters. A lot. 

 

Oh and they rank you better too with AMP.

Did you read and listen to the videos? 

Basically, it depends but since the internet is faster there is less needs for amp and more needs to optimize website and integrate pwa.

The guy in the first video is from google.

We at least need one of those, either the AMP or the PWA, it's way better from nothing.

We need PWA....

AMP reminds me of the old mobile websites before responsive design.

Google rankings in favor of AMP might force us to at least have our first page AMP friendly.

Did I mention I am beginning to hate Google's dominance?

Sorry if I missed this in any of the blogs, but is AMP being supported in Invision Community 4.5?

We have not announced AMP support for 4.5

We have not announced AMP support for 4.5 is not "4.5 will not support AMP" 

I am all for progress in web design, but am sick of everything having to conform to what Google wants. As a company, I do not like Google or the way it works so I for one am pleased this hasn't been added in to IPS software. Who decided Google was boss?

While your competitors add AMP support and jump ahead of you in rankings, they will cheer your defiance all the way to page 2 or 3 of Google's search results.

Exactly. Our community's are supported by advertising which comes from traffic which comes from Google search engine rankings. Like it or not. 

At this point, would anybody be willing to pitch money in for a third-party developer to work on this?
