That’s really great 
Is it compatible with plugins?

I’ve not published to the stores, so this lives on my dev device right now. And the screens are just previews, to get feedback and not promos as i’m not endorsed by meta in anyway.
The app was originally made for my community that I shared last month, I made a few slight changes to support other forums and gave the app a separate name for those who actually might want a native discourse client app that has almost all the web features integrated.
However some feature won’t work out of the box for some forums since I’ve got a plugin which needs to accompany the app itself, so self hosted users benefit and discourse.group get varied support as they won’t have native login, push notifications or my custom story mode on the app homescreen.
If you’d like to see how it looks with your forum share your url and if you want a login preview you’d need to add the app scheme to your site
All site Settings >> Allowed user API auth redirects
Forum Link: https:// forum-url/auth_redirect
Scheme: sysaru://auth_redirect

Ive reviewed and followed a lot of suggestions and went a bit further, with full multiforum support, with active forum switching. Post navigator to replace timeline scrolling, new immersive comments (social+nested replies) and added more blocks to the composer.
All forums who utilized the Sysaru App Engine plugin will get native push notifications, video thumbnail support for story mode and posts.
Posts have been updated to support cooked transaltions only Chat and user cards are not translated as Discourse doesn’t natively support it. In an addition to Discourse translations the app text has been translated into the 49 locale languages that discourses natively supports.
Stay tuned…

While i focused heavily on sorting posts from all to new, I introduced a new method of post navigation to be leaner, smoother, and quicker so you can follow conversations without long list scrolling.

One of the key features I’ve implemented is “Tablet Mode”. Given before using Discourse I used another forum which allowed the feed pane in a drawer styler so I’ve thought it up and compiled the split in the same mobile app, essential a two for one. And been thinking if it’s worth adding foldable support as well…
Here’s a preview of tablet mode active @mcwumbly
Feedback welcome…

In tablet mode the right pane will display the community name of the active connected forum, in this short video on community.openai.com an author post has 2400 replies and shows how post navigator will load the exact post despite if users have deleted their replies and changed the order of IDs.

As i mentioned last week Sysaru supports cooked posts with forums that have post translations with as Vaperina.cc is native to Hungarian locale on annoymous it shows the default locale
On user login it will show appropriate translations @Don
However chat channels are not able to be translated given Discourse itself doesn’t allow it. But given not all communities are chat enabled I assume it will only be viable for community users who actual speak the default locale.

Thanks, I’ve had it in beta for those who reached out, but mainly on android as i’m only using simulators for iOS and iPadOS.
