We personally think an app would require quite a lot of new coding with only minimal benefit. We'd rather have more complex features first. The notifications bit could be taken care of by, say, implementing the option for email notifications.

As long as it remains an option to opt out of email notifications, I would see this as the best stopgap solution to people not wishing to miss content. "Tag this topic, when it receives a new post, send me an email notification with who posted in it."

Just my passerby opinion.
