[Feature request] Start a discussion from Android device

Senior Software Engineer [E5] at Metaa year ago

I found out yesterday that I was not able to start a discussion ( post ) from android device. Is this a feature only from web at the moment?

Aside - If theres a better place to post about feature requests / bugs ? I don't want to take away from the career discussions taking place here.

    The feature is only available on web, and it will likely never come to mobile sorry šŸ˜ž

    The complexity of starting a discussion is high due to the Markdown composer and very complicated identity logic. Even Markdown rendering on mobile is very tough and both the Android/iOS implementations have bugs due to shortcomings in the libraries they use. Given the relatively low volume of discussion (3-10 users start one per day), it's hard to commit the mobile resources to add this feature.

    Mobile web is functional though, so if you want to do it on mobile, you can do that.

    Aside - If theres a better place to post about feature requests / bugs ? I don't want to take away from the career discussions taking place here.

    I appreciate the thoughtfulness! There are a couple ways to share feedback:

    • If you use the Taro Premium Slack space, post in #taro-app-discussion-and-feedback
    • Just email us directly at team@jointaro.com

      Thanks! Hadn't considered using mobile web.

      Appreciate the response. Makes sense given the constrained resources.
