Hi,

I believe any Discourse mobile app should work.

And if you want to write your own mobile app in Flutter (probably quuuuite a lot of work), they have an open API. :smiley:

Lukas said, ā€œIā€™m not sure if Discource has an open API that could be used, but if it does, why not? :smiley:ā€.

I tried the official DiscourseHub app but couldnā€™t see advantage to the web app.
If anyone knows another app please share.

Agreed. Iā€™d like a mobile app not something I need to use a browser.

Somehow for me the forum asked if I want to install the progressive web app. And it feels almost like a normal app

Were you using mobile device or desktop? When I used my laptop to join I didnā€™t get a prompt.

If you are iOS you could just Add to Home Screen. That works for me.
Donā€™t know about android but it should be same

That works but isnā€™t different to get the Web app installed as progressive web app

it is a great idea, and it would be nice if we could add to it push notification so we would stay updated about the different discussions
