Hello community!
I was just wondering how great it would be if we had an android version of this forum. Of course, no desktop app is necessary, but having to use this website on a mobile browser sucks. We get slow loading times, inconvenient UI, and a lot of other stuff. There are a lot of great android developers in here. One of them I know being @sawdoctor and many others I don’t know. This thing won’t see any progress here. So feel free to tag members of the team to bring this to everyone’s mind. Hope everyone bring this to mind!
I just said it as even the smallest forum(s) have their own app. I (or maybe a lot of people) spend time here. So waiting for 15-20 secs for each page isn’t worth it. And a lot of other stuff.
Strange. On my Note 9 (Android 10), it takes me 2-3 seconds per topic to load using Firefox on mobile network. On my OnePlus 3T (Android 11), it takes about 3-5 seconds. Discourse mobile website is already like an App. It is so smooth, fast, and fluid. You can use Firefox to create a webapp as well on Android.
More than likely, a Manjaro Forum app, would just be a web wrapper. Might as well use your web browser, or make a webapp with Firefox.
You can try Discourse Hub but it has horrible ratings.
