Why doesn't OGS have an app

Pardon the ignorance of the question, I know it likely ties in to the whole OGS UI design thread. But I’m just curious. I use a web app on Android. Works fine but I wish I could get notifications etc… Just curious to know. Lichess has one chess .com has one, our future investors want one..

It doesn’t have an official app made by the same people who make the backend and website frontend, because they are busy making the backend and website frontend. But there are several apps made by third parties.

iOS has some amazing OGS apps built by others.

Currently there’s a guy working on an App for OGS called Tenuki. The app is currently in Beta. I’ll try to get you in touch with him. It is amazing.

Thanks, I have Sente app and even weiqi hub. But I find myself coming back to the OGS web app and our lovely ecosystem. Looking forward to seeing this Tenuki app.

Isn’t this when we are supposed to start arguing about how easy it would be to make one if somebody would just flicked the proverbial magic switch?

Is this still a thing? I noticed the forum thread dissappeared

The thread is private as requested by the dev. So only those who had commented on it have access. But he’s still working on it, in beta.
