[Suggestion] DevForum App

I’m not sure if this was ever suggested, but this is something I think would be interesting.

What if the DevForum has an app similar to the main Roblox app for iOS, Android, etc? I’ve noticed that the DevForum has become a lot more popular in recent weeks due to a certain global event, so I think it’d be very interesting to implement an application for the DevForum.

New replies on posts could be notifications for your phone and the DevForum could be accessed easier if you were away from a PC / laptop. I like to browse the forums on my phone whenever I’m bored or I’m at a coffee shop. It gives me something to do, and having to use Chrome is a bit annoying because it’s finicky. It’s a very portable option in case you wanted to look around.

I personally think a setback would be it’d take time. This is definitely a “last priority” project. There’s a lot more than can be done with the engine, let alone the DevForum, so this probably wouldn’t happen for a while.

This is just a random thought. Have a good day everyone; stay safe and wash your hands.

There is already an application, its called Discourse, it is available both on IOS and android. This is because the developer forums are made with discourse like meta.discourse.com or blenderartists.org and etc.

Is there any way to access the DevForums from this app? It seems to me like it’s a separate entity but the setup is exactly the same, as the URLs are different.

Could you elaborate? Access the devforum website through the app or access the devforum itself through the app?

My apologies. My question was poorly worded.

Are you able to access the DevForum itself through the Discourse app?

Yep, any website which uses the Discourse software is able to be accessed through the app.

I’m pretty shocked that this isn’t as well known. If it is, then … I’m way out of the loop, haha.

Thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention!
