This is the only other remotely relevant thread I’ve found: Mobile landscape keyboard hiding input text Perhaps it is easier to explain and then attach pics. Basically, I am wanting to make an app for my forum, using a webview. However, within the webview, the keyboard goes right over the “Reply” …

Update: It seems as though any sort of FULLSCREEN flag in Android completely breaks the Reply system in Discourse, making it impossible to hide the navigation bar or status bar without breaking the “Reply” within a forum. It is possible, but the above result will occur, when the keyboard goes on to…

Why not use a PWA rather than making an app? You’re reinventing the wheel here. There’s already a single site app available for use which supports notifications but this really shouldn’t be necessary with PWAs now working fairly well.

Making a webview app and listing it on Google Play gives you enormous chances of people reaching you. Nowadays, any online business should not leave an opportunity to be in Google Play or App Store.

That’s why we are going for webview instead of native Android app. We wanna take advantage of both the website ranking and the app installation behaviour :wink: At least, in my industry people want us to bring an app because they are lazy to open the browser and type the url. Moreover, telling each…

Reaching several million, with a Discord base of between 60,000-100,000 MAU with a majority requesting a simple app (doesn’t bother me, effort is worth it to me). Also for my target demographic of 18-25 in the niche I cater to, discovery is massive with apps, even if it’s a simple WebView. More so …
