Ok, fair enough. Personally I think reading newsgroups is too much of a complex task to be done on a phone (for starters typing is much harder, so you're kinda restricted to reading only, or typing short posts only).
Having recently been absorbed by The Continuum, I acquired an iPhone. I found the predictive text input to be disconcerting at first, but it speeds up the typing a lot.
It's still annoying to type anything other than lower case alphas. I haven't tried it yet, but trying to enter code on an iPhone seems like it would be hell. Maybe pairing it with a bluetooth keyboard will fix that.
But none of that would be improved with custom forum software.
But that's a valid use case, and I can see Discourse doesn't work that well there. Maybe it will get an app in not too distant future.
That's the problem with custom forums instead of a standard protocol. (I really like DFeed+NNTP, I guess you can tell!)
