DisHub – A Modern, Native Mobile App for Discourse Forums

Hi, first of all thank you for building Dishub — it’s a very interesting project and I really enjoyed testing it. While using the app, I came across some issues that I’d like to share. Hopefully this feedback can help improve the experience for everyone.

Here are some issues and suggestions I noticed while using Dishub:

  1. Forum URL validation
    When adding a new forum, if the URL is entered without the https:// prefix, the app throws an error.
  2. Google Signup not working
    The Google signup option does not work. After clicking it and selecting an account, nothing happens.
  3. Email Signup broken link
    The email signup flow sends a confirmation email, but the link inside the email leads to a “Page not found” error.
  4. Dark theme readability
    In dark mode, category names appear in dark text, making them hard to read against the dark background.
  5. RTL forum support
    For right-to-left (RTL) forums, the entire layout should ideally switch to RTL. At the very least, post content should be aligned and rendered right-to-left instead of left-to-right.
  6. Mobile padding issue
    On mobile, the text starts very close to the right edge of the screen, reducing readability. This gets worse if a user has a cracked or chipped screen protector along the edge.
  7. Subcategory topic display
    When a parent category is selected, all topics are shown as expected. But if a subcategory is selected, the topic list becomes empty instead of showing the subcategory’s topics.
  8. Multi-tag selection
    It would be very helpful if multiple tags could be selected at the same time.
  9. Left sidebar scrolling
    The left menu does not scroll. As a result, some options at the bottom cannot be accessed or seen on smaller screens.
  10. Category dropdown when creating a topic
    On the “create topic” page, the category field does not provide a dropdown menu for browsing and selecting from existing categories.

Thanks a lot for your efforts and for considering this feedback.
