Thanks

How would the app differ from using the site on your mobile browser?

Presumably the same way other apps such as facbook perform rather than in your mobile browser.

so faster (better optimised) then? Facebook has various features which perform better in the app than browser, but I don’t see equivalent features on here.

The “Discourse” mobile app is available to download from the App Store or the Play Store:

It gives you a view on all the Discourse-powered forums you follow, showing unread counts etc.

You can tap a forum to view it, but what you’ll see is the same as what you see currently in the mobile website.

Notifications are supported for SE23.life but they’re not immediate (push) notifications. For this, I’ll need to set up a push notification server, which is on my todo list
