@eaton lmao

@leigh @eaton  is still alive and well! #PHPBB

@ramsey @leigh @eaton No joke, I have honestly thought about installing a phpBB forum on my website but I didn't find any way for mobile users to conveniently browse it.

@AimeeMaroux @leigh @eaton Is the UI not mobile friendly?

@ramsey @leigh @eaton The one I was looking at did not have app integration that would notify users of new replies etc. akin to, say, the Discord app. And I think that is needed for mobile only or mobile first users to engage.

@AimeeMaroux @leigh @eaton Ah, yes. I wasn’t thinking about notifications. I guess you would need a dedicated app with push notification functionality for that.

@AimeeMaroux @leigh @eaton This looks promising. It’s not free, but the pricing looks reasonable. The board owners would need to install it, though. https://phpbb.pro/pushnotifications

@ramsey @leigh @eaton That is very reasonable pricing indeed and as I understand it, it works on mobile without having to install an app? 👀
The board owner would be me, so that wouldn't be a problem 😁

@AimeeMaroux @leigh @eaton That’s what it looks like. It appears to use the built-in browser notifications system (on both desktop and mobile). I’ve never seen notifications from a mobile browser, though, so I’m not sure how well it works.

@ramsey @leigh @eaton I just tested it. I can enable it on desktop but it doesn't work for me on mobile. Might be my browser or settings but the option to enable browser notifications just doesn't show up at all, not even in desktop mode.
