Why would you need a mobile app?
Mobile App for Flarum

christicehurst It's mostly for push notifications to notify users about threads they are watching.
I'm totally lost what the heck do u mean by Mobile App? If the site so great on mobile already, I'm confused.

Wombat While it looks and works great on mobile, push notifications to get users back to the site is something I want to figure out, especially if its regarding threads they are following.
Afaik, the only way to do push notifications is to have an app on Apple's app store (not sure about Play Store policies) or use intermediary services like boxcar/pushover.

Thanks for the pointers thecodingwizard. I tried out ionic and was able to embed the demo site and serve it using ionic's built in server.. it looks promising!
I'm stuck on a weird bug where I'm not able to scroll the embedded site's content inside the app. Trying to figure this out at the moment.
Hey thecodingwizard, how did you link Ionic and Cordova in your comment?
tarun Markdown syntax for links: [ LINK LABEL ] ( LINK URL ) except no spaces, so something like
[Ionic](http://www.ionicframework.com and then the closing parenthesis.
thecodingwizard I was actually looking into Ionic a few weeks ago
brainscript That, and browser-based push notifications will make an app more or less pointless.
Franz So when do you hope to get browser-based push notifications implemented?
williamukoh Not sure, to be honest. It's not super high on my priority list right now

Just a quick question, would browser based notification be the same as iOS notification? (When users don't have the web page loaded in iOS Safari, would it still bring notification to their phones?)
