Nothing Community App

Does Nothing have a social media page in FB? Couldn’t find one.

I don’t think it needs a community app until more people are involved or it goes public. I must say, I really like the small and intimate approach.

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.

Cheetosdust I think this conversation should start with what a dedicated app can offer that a traditional website cannot.

This is indeed what should be the main focus, because the truth is if the website is done properly and using latest tech available, it should be able to serve the purpose and offer a integrated experience to the nothing users, either they are browsing in the website on their phone or PC/tablet.

Investing resources now in an new app that won’t offer more than what you get on the web version, probably isn’t the best approach for Nothing right now.

But yeah, like you just said, the website version does need some small optimizations to help increase its usability.

I personally would rather Nothing concentrate on their products, this web based community works for me!

Yeah I’m not sure what extra an app would bring over the forum we already have! And Carl has confirmed they’re working on merch, which I assume they’ll also sell through the website eventually. But understandably it’s not a priority for them rn

Pyrodox haha can’t argue with that!

Pyrodox Good great man! Awesome work.

A community app would be a great idea!

I really hope it is coming soon.

Definitely like this idea! Specifically if push notifications would work and whatnot.

App would definitely make it easier to login and interact on the go.

Hello there,

Does anyone know the ETA of Nothing community app.

nobody as cool as that would be, there is no eta for something that doesn’t exist

Not sure it was ever in development tbh. The web experience (on web and mobile) is pretty optimised. The resources required to create an app that’s better than the current experience wouldn’t be worth it. Who knows, one day there might be something

I love the new nothing community discussion website! Just wondering, would there be a pwa for it on the play store in the near future? I feel this would make it more accessible on mobile.

Anonymous161 We’re in the early stages of planning our new community experience, but a native app is definitely on our minds. Using this community site from a web browser on mobile isn’t the best experience, and I think we can do better.

Can I ask who the IsaacFeng is as I received lots of emails in the space of an hour or so and the forum didn’t look like it had been used in a long while.
