I see the APIs are quite extensive but before I dive into this direction, I wanted to know if it is possible to build a custom flutter app entirely using the APIs that discourse supports? We are currently on xenforo and would be migrating to discourse first and then start working on the custom app …

Yes, it’s totally possible, as discourse is just an ember app on top of the rails api. I think it’s a terrible idea, as you’ll just be duplicating thousands of hours of work. That said, I had a client who did just that and they seemed happy with it. I haven’t heard from them in a long while; I don’…

Are you intending to use a web view? If not: potentially massive amounts of duplication of front end work inc. ongoing duplication of maintenance incompatibility with the theme component and plugin ecosystem so inability to leverage it.

[صورة] Flutter Mobile App for your Discourse Community Development Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a Flutter mobile app for my discourse community for the past 3-4 months. Was wondering if anyone else is interested in using Flutter to build a mobile app…

Hi Robert, Nope not planning on using the web view. That would defeat the purpose of a custom user experience. Duplication of work is a given and acceptable. What do you mean by incompatibility with the theme component and plugin ecosystem? Do you mean that plugins will not expose the APIs so the…

I read that thread before posting this here. That thread went down the PWA vs native debate and the original poster never returned. My query is not specifically about flutter anyway even though I have mentioned it in the title. The query actually is, since there is an extensive list of APIs expose…

[صورة] SubStrider: What do you mean by incompatibility with the theme component and plugin ecosystem? The front end elements of these (Theme Components are 100% front end) are written in EmberJS and use the JavaScript API of Discourse You will almost certainly cut yourself off from all those…

Thanks Jay, your answer really is what I was looking for. In fact I could use the discourse front end for my power users and build a minimalist mobile app for attracting the casual users who would want to engage without getting overwhelmed. You know the ones who like using reddit and facebook. Oh m…

[صورة] SubStrider: You know the ones who like using reddit and facebook. We do have some themes to play around with which may be less of a timesink than “build a Discourse frontend in flutter from scratch” [صورة] A reddit-ish theme for Discourse Theme …

I’d like to be proven wrong with an actual example of an independent frontend. I’d also like to be corrected if anything I state here is not accurate! :hugs: Just in my understanding there’s actually a misjudgement whenever this topic comes up, in the sense of: Discourse has an API and an independen…

Thank you, thats probably something I would have discovered as I would have dug deeper. Its a shame then if all the statistics are being triggered and computed in the front end instead of say using queues in the backend. Nowhere near headless then.

Thanks Natalie, I did look at the themes earlier and would say that FKB Pro is closer to what we would want.
