@merefield Thanks for the feedback! I wasn’t aware of these TestFlight scams, so that’s an understandable risk. The app is closed source, since I was thinking of adding some paid options in the future, to support app’s future development (I’m a sole developer).

For some context, I run a Discourse community for my other app ([HomeHabit](https://community.homehabit.app)), which is one the main reasons I wanted to have a native client to use. Originally, I thought of doing this project a few years ago, however, [Fig app](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fig-native-discourse-client-for-ios/148352) was posted here around that time, so I just started using it instead. Now that Fig’s development has been abandoned, I decided to revisit this idea.
