Thanks for sharing. I saw that DisHub recently.  
I have an issue with people promoting stuff when they seem to just sign up to promote their product, but they have never interacted with the community before. It always feels suspicious…

And then for DisCorkie, for example, the developer hasn’t been active at all in his topic since April. Weird…

I’m thinking that maybe the app could cover the most used features, just to make it usable enough, and some other features like stuff related to user account, etc, could still rely on the browser?

At this point I’m just guessing. I just thought about it today, actually, and decided to ask.

I will check the other links as well. Thanks!
