I think this conversation should start with what a dedicated app can offer that a traditional website cannot.
It can be convenient, but I do think that if Nothing is going to invest the resources down the line to develop one, the presentation of the forums and specifically the threads should be reworked.
I have visited the forums from a laptop and from a smartphone. The one thing I miss while using a smartphone is the “Latest Activity” section. It’s quite useful to see, well, the latest activity. Using the mobile version, I can only see the latest replied thread on each section - that can be a problem when the forums get more people.
Even asking for the “desktop site” does not allow for the “latest activity” to be summoned.
But what I miss the most so far are the notifications. We have some control over them on the settings, but they are about getting them via the web and/or email - we have six parameters to refine.
I don’t know exactly how, but I think getting a traditional notification based on those six parameters, not only could be useful, it could also make members visit the forums (when someone replies to you, for example, I do think most people would be online when they get an opportunity) more often.
Perhaps that will be possible if/when Nothing launches something tied to “other platforms as both we and our community grow in tandem and we build out our ecosystem”, like @Matt mentioned.
