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.
تطبيق Discourse Hub ليس تطبيق ويب تقدمي (PWA). تعمل إشعارات الدفع عبر تطبيقات الويب التقدمية (PWAs) لجميع المواقع، بغض النظر عما إذا كانت مستضافة لدينا أم لا.
