Currently the experience of [forums.swift.org](http://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](http://forums.swift.org), but it seems like the [forums.swift.org](http://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](https://discourse.org) 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](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fig-for-discourse/id1485491193) for the swift and rust forums it's been pretty good. ---

Thank you for your recommendation. I’ll give it a try. ---

Searching Discourse for a while, and I found this repo is what I need. [GitHub - discourse/discourse\_api: Ruby API for Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_api) and there is also a Swift Wrapper version [GitHub - NSExceptional/DiscourseKit: A Swift wrapper for the Discourse API.](https://github.com/NSExceptional/DiscourseKit) ---

Sadly, Fig is no longer actively maintained.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](https://twitter.com/ForumateApp/status/1664961198335627267?s=20) a look. ---

Hey everyone! found this post after doing some research, I'm working on my own implementation of a native client for Discourse! My app is called Bubbles ([https://gobubbles.app](https://gobubbles.app)) I'm doing this as part of the Shipaton competition if you want to follow along. https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLomLuS7LD16f-4AsEbzXX8qmeslZUz5q5&wmode=transparent&rel=0&autohide=1&showinfo=1&enablejsapi=1 ---
