OK makes some sense. Essentially you are saying: “I want to rewrite parts of the UI and just communicate via the API only”?

I don’t think you will get much free support to help you do that here, but take a look at:

[https://meta.discourse.org/t/help-with-authenticating-user-via-api/178355/2?u=merefield](https://meta.discourse.org/t/help-with-authenticating-user-via-api/178355/2)

There are existing efforts to do this, particularly via app, you might want to research them, e.g.:

> [@Lexicon: a customizable native mobile app for your Discourse site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/lexicon-a-customizable-native-mobile-app-for-your-discourse-site/201085):

> Hey everyone, I wanted to quickly drop in here and mention that I’ve just open-sourced a project called [Lexicon](https://lexicon.is) with some colleagues of mine. It’s a pre-built, customizable native mobile app built on top of the Discourse API. We built it to help quickly integrate discussion and messaging features into other native mobile projects. This project was really enjoyable to build, primarily due to all of the hard work done in advance by the Discourse core team and community over the years. Screensh…

There was also Fig, but it’s not yet open source:

> [@Fig - Native Discourse client for iOS](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fig-native-discourse-client-for-ios/148352/107):
>
> Why not just put it on GitHub and call it a day?

But note the extremely high level of up front development and maintenance these kinds of solutions require. I believe the best two examples have been abandoned (?)

Alternatively consider building your website as a Discourse instance entirely (via plugins and theme components) to avoid having to rewrite many elements of the UI.
