Can we make a mobile app plugin/wrapper for NodeBB?

would be nice to have something like ReactNative to build both ios/android app

@julian we are hiring devs to work with me on this, if u know someone who knows react & nodeBB, please let me know

We are building react-redux-nodebb

this will enable react-dom & react-native with nodebb, which means we can build nodeBB into native apps & also use react ecosystem UI components

steps we are taking:

1. react-redux structure (state, api, hooks)
2. converting controllers
3. module bridge (to enable current ecosystem of plugins)

then next up we will build:
react-native-nodebb theme & skins

Any help & suggestions are super welcome!

@data-dataninja would be nice to have some advice from you Master Julian @julian

use vanilla theme

Is there a way i can restrict the type of topics/post in a category?

like an pictures category where u can only do pictures (like instagram feed)

or a video category where u do only videos (like instagram stories)

then it showns in the homepage like this & people can scroll?

@julian

the controllers & apis & hooks are pretty straightforward

what might be slightly difficult is to build the module bridge to successfully enable the current plugins to work with React.

we can convert nodeBB controllers/api/hooks like-for-like, If plugins are simple js logic then shouldnt be a problem importing them as js modules. But we might experience some compatibility issues when importing more complicated plugins.

Will have to look into that further & see how it goes

Yes I would love to see mobile client like React Native.

Please let me know if anyone is building it
