Has anyone had much success with utilising Discourse in the role of a conference ‘app’? I ask as my own experience of existing conference apps has been pretty disappointing.
In my mind, the best use case would be for a physical or hybrid event which is run exclusively for an online community which is already using Discourse.
Chat & chat threads have a lot of promise on this front, as does the subscription plugin (if it is successfully adapted to be more flexible with how payments work).
Also, the maturity of iOS (finally) so that a true app / notification experience this year really opens up the usefulness of Discourse as a conference ‘app’.
Unfortunately, it is hard to really rock this idea with the current Events plugins - they would need some work in order to be truly useful for this.
