Hey @Jake_Persofsky and all,

After a few months of hiatus, I am able to finish the Discourse app. I wonder if you guys would like to give it a test. It has pretty much all the features you can think of, and a bit more!

If you are interested to test with your iPhone, you can install via TestFlight at [Join the A Better Discourse App (ABDA) beta - TestFlight - Apple](https://testflight.apple.com/join/cgYJGhwq)

You can see the app preview at [https://betterdiscourse.app](https://betterdiscourse.app)

The app name is ABDA, A Better Discourse App 🙂

I hope you all enjoying it and can give me more feedback. The source code is complete open source at:
