Continuing the discussion from [Can discourse be used entirely through the APIs to build a flutter app?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-discourse-be-used-entirely-through-the-apis-to-build-a-flutter-app/342554):
Against the collective wisdom of the community, we still jumped off that cliff. 🤪
The iOS app is live on App Store. Heavily customized for our community. Initial feedback has been positive, some minor read state sync issues identified. Android app will follow in a couple of weeks.
This was the primary reason for us to move to Discourse, its superb backend and API support. And it did not disappoint. 🚀

Thank you for this great platform.

Please post long term feedback highlighting how it has been to manage the app long term.
It is very encouraging to see this is happening and some communities are able to build native clients for discourse

I didn’t notice it myself until someone pointed out that they like the app better than the web for messages because they can see the usernames with message titles in the messages list view.
I think they are right and its a usability gap on discourse. Please do consider adding it.
