Discourse App - get forum notifications

PSA that you can use the Discourse app to receive mobile notifications from this forum and fun fact any other Discourse forums you use.

There was a month or so where the iOS app was replaced with an unusable update, but as of 2018-11-29 normal service is resumed.

Android, also

Discourse have recently changed the app, it’s better in some ways but worse in others IMHO. But it still does notifications.

Just an FYI that the iOS Discourse app has been sending me to Safari for RGB. Might need a forum software upgrade?

Try adding RGB again, it should keep you in the Discourse app at least until you click an external link which then kicks to Safari.

I use it every day like this.

Yep, that fixed it. Something was up with the original add. It worked fine until a recent Discourse App update so I thought that played a role.

I think you’re right, I seem to remember having to re-add all the forums I have in it.

No words on having notifications in Chrome for Android?

It should since Android Chrome 74, if I’m reading correctly.

What’s your setup?

The official discourse app definitely works though.

I turned it of then on again, quote me?
