By the way, it's unfortunate, but phpBB UI would not work on a phone, and in fact we need a native phone app that is able to browse these NIP-29 forums. Can 0xchat do that? I don't know, but we need more apps. I know Flotilla and Chachi can be used on a phone, but if you used a cheap old phone like me you would know that isn't a good idea.
Both Chachi and Flotilla have "forum" functionality and they both work great. What else do we have?
Do the hamster people need anything else? I don't think so.

I know it doesn't look like phpBB, but that can be arranged.

Group notes? 0xchat has already done it
This works just fine on mobile, and if nowhere near as confusing as either option you mentioned.

Nostr is a really neat idea, but it's not for normal people yet. I can't imagine a non technical user understanding a lot of this. My mom wouldn't have a chance 😂
You need to be able to sign in, create post.
I'm pretty sure we will never be able to "sign in, create post" on Nostr. If that is really what you want then I suggest that you give up now.
