Swift Forum Client

Currently the experience of forums.swift.org is not very good on mobile device like iPhone.

And I'd like to create a client app for forums.swift.org, but it seems like the forums.swift.org is not open source and I'd like to know if there is any public interface/API that we can use to fetch the latest posts or comment on a certain thread.

To the best of my knowledge, the forums are running on a standard Discourse server, so you should be able to use the standard app or even make your own. I haven’t tried it, though.

I've been using Fig for the swift and rust forums it's been pretty good.

Searching Discourse for a while, and I found this repo is what I need. GitHub - discourse/discourse_api: Ruby API for Discourse and there is also a Swift Wrapper version GitHub - NSExceptional/DiscourseKit: A Swift wrapper for the Discourse API.

Sadly, Fig is no longer actively maintained. And it is even token off by the App Store.

If anyone else is interested in this topic, you can give Forumate a look.
