So I have two questions about the Discourse App. At some point will the app work like an app and not just a web browser list? Currently only Discourse hosted forums get notifications, I run a community that’s very privacy sensitive and my users don’t want big hosts / business having access to user data - we use a small host Frantech and don’t use Cloudflare / any big providers to handle user information. Any way that could change? Maybe offer it as a small service at low rate?

No, we have no plans to offer Google Play / Apple App Store paid notifications as a service. Also no to your point one, the app is a wrapper around the website that gives “native” notifications and multi-site aggregation services. It is what it is.

Would it be possible to register a self hosted discourse server at google play store for notifications? How was this done for this discourse server?

On Android you can already get notifications see: Android live notifications are now in core! iOS is a different story, you’d still need your own app.

No, @awesomerobot , it does not work in the PWA in Android: [תמונה] Push Notifications Not functioning Support There is a lot of confusion here in this topic. Let’s start over: Discourse Hub App Using discourse.org hosting: You can receive push notification when you add the hosted site to the Discourse Hub app, be it Android or iOS. Not using discourse.org hosting: You won’t get push notification from the Discourse Hub app. Android Google Chrome You can enable push notification from the browser. You will be prompted to do so in a banner after posting your first reply and having TL1. You c…

The Discourse Hub app is not a PWA. Push notifications work via PWAs for all sites, regardless of if you’re hosted by us or not.

Regardless if the app is a PWA or not, how can i get it work with a self hosted installation of discourse?

@Stephen the Notifications are offered in the Android App but it is not working

Ok, but we’re not talking about the android app. A PWA is when you add a site to your homescreen. If the site is correctly configured then notifications will work. If you’re using DiscourseHub then notifications will not work unless you are a hosted customer.

Self hosted PWAs already offer notifications on Android.

They won’t work with iOS until Apple allows native notifications.
