DisHub – A Modern, Native Mobile App for Discourse Forums

[BRINK_Fisher]

Hello Discourse community!

I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on for a while: DisHub, a new mobile app designed specifically for Discourse forums.

Like many of you, I really enjoy using Discourse, but I’ve always felt that the official mobile app is a bit limited — it’s mostly just a web wrapper, with minimal use of true native features. Also Fig project seems to be unavailable, and it was only on Android.

So I decided to build DisHub from scratch using Flutter. My goals were simple:

• Bring native performance and smooth animations to Discourse forums
• Provide real push notifications using device capabilities
• Make it easy to manage multiple forums all in one app
• Add moderator and admin tools you can actually use on the go
• Deliver a beautiful, clean, and simple UI that feels at home on mobile

Key Features:

• Manage all your Discourse forums from one app
• Super-fast native navigation and animations
• Customizable mobile notifications
• Admin & moderator actions (flag, delete, edit, ban, etc.)
• Dark and light themes
• Designed for members, mods, and admins

The app is built entirely with Flutter, and I’m grateful for all the feedback and testing I’ve received from the Flutter and Discourse communities so far. Your insights have helped shape this project into something I’m proud of.

I’d love for anyone interested to give it a try, especially if you manage or participate in a Discourse community. Feedback, suggestions, or questions are very welcome!

Thanks for letting me share this with you all — and thank you to the Discourse team for such an awesome platform!

Is this open-source?

[BRINK_Fisher]

Not for the moment. But this can be a option for the future.

Interesting! I see in the history that you already shipped a version back in 2022?

What took you so long to announce it? Do you have many users already?

And I think it’s worth repeating this word-of-warning about another 3rd party app:

@Canapin

Be aware that since it’s a third-party, closed-source application, we [Discourse] don’t know its reliability and we have no control over what the author does with your data.

This includes passwords, so be extra careful if you are an admin!

I was not very satisfied with the first version, and after that, I took a long pause.

But now I want to push with this new version as far as possible.

I tested your DisHub app, and it’s pretty good overall. I really appreciate the smooth UI, modern design, and great performance. I hope your update become even more effective soon. And since you’re doing very good job, your app will get better soon.

[BRINK_Fisher]

Thanks for your feedback.

If you have any suggestions of features you will like to see. Don’t hesitate.

Bonjour,

J ai testé ton application sous iOS et j arrive bien à trouver mon Discourse mais quand je veux m identifier après avoir autorisé l application je reviens sur ma page accessible par tout le monde mais je ne suis pas identifié. Je ne sais pas si c est un problème ou une mauvaise manipulation de ma part

[BRINK_Fisher]

C’est probablement un problème technique ne notre part.

Ca nous aidera beaucoup si nous pouvions avoir plus de détails: quelque capture d’écrans ou vidéo afin de bien comprendre le problème.

Après avoir autoriser je reviens à la première image

Et je ne suis pas identifié
