Lexicon delivers a native mobile Discourse experience with two key components:
- The Lexicon Mobile App - a modern mobile app built with Expo & React Native
- Prose, our GraphQL API on top of the Discourse API
The Lexicon Mobile App is built with Expo, which allows us to maintain both the iOS and Android apps with a single codebase.
For those unfamiliar, Expo provides a superior development and deployment experience on top of React Native.
Prose is Lexicon's GraphQL layer built on top of Discourse's API.
This enables developers to quickly build apps on top of a live Discourse instance while leveraging the benefits of GraphQL.
Discourse is open-source discussion software that is thoughtfully designed, simple to setup, and well-maintained.
You can learn more about it on the Discourse website.
You can learn about the technical details of our approach in Concepts & Architecture.
