About this app

Discourse is the 100% open source discussion platform built for the next decade of the Internet. It works as:

- a mailing list
- a discussion forum
- a long-form chat room

The application provides:

- Real time push notifications for officially hosted Discourse forums
- At a glance tell how many unread/new topics your forums have by looking at the app icon
- A central spot to view all notifications, unread counts and new counts
- Uses Google Chrome as the website browser, no need to log in again

Ratings and reviews

@alex Leonard: it does show you which forums have new posts, thus saving you the effort and device resources you would spend on opening those that have none. However: the setting to open custom web window is gone. Why? In fact the current version seems to have no settings at all. Is the author a little too zealous to simplify the experience? Update: fixed in last version, well done.

App doesn't offer any real functions? no true notification system, just a list of updates in your forums (which isn't even up to date in my case) and no phone pings or notification badges. and the forums aren't displayed in-app, just opened in a sub-browser

I feel the app would work better if the forums were in the app itself instead of just opening a browser tab. This would only be good for showing notifications and opening browser tabs.

What's new

Adds option to open sites in a custom tab (i.e. in-app browser).

Restores bugfix for app crashing when returning from background mode.
