The project is looking for co-maintainers. Some of the open tasks are:

  • Periodically update translations from Crowdin
  • Improve Google Play store listing
  • Monitor crash reports on Google Play
  • Moderate bug reports
msiejak commented

I'd be willing to do some of that (I only speak English though, so no translations)
Could you email me some more details?

Hi Michael,

thanks for your interest. Do you have experience with building Android Apps with GitHub actions? The most urgent contribution for the project would be setting up some CI for the PRs and auto-publishing master to the Play store Alpha track. It's quite a bit of overhead building a new release at the moment as it involves:

  • Build translations on Crowdin
  • Download translations and integrate in code
  • Update versions in Manifest etc
  • Build (and before update Android Studio, as I don't use it too often)
  • Upload to Play Store
  • Create release with release notes etc etc

Would be awesome if we could integrate all this in GitHub actions.

Kind regards,
Adam

I don't have much experience with github actions, but I'll work on it. And in the meantime, I would just manually build it like you have been doing. But I could most likely make a batch script for automating the translation process. I do have experience with android apps, though.

This article might give idea with how to build with GitHub actions

butzist commented

@msiejak Then please go ahead and create pull-requests with translation updates from Crowdin. I have a script in the repo that used to fetch and extract the new translations - but not sure it is still functional.

butzist commented

For me automating the the build and release process would be the greatest help - for me it's always >1h of work to get out a new release. That's why it does not happen very often ;)

butzist commented

Update: Automated the build and release to beta track on Google Play.
Still looking for someone to

  • Create releases
  • Update translations from Crowdin

Hi I'm interested in contributing to this project,
I have experience on developing Android apps and publishing them.I also have worked with GitHub actions for running a cron job to update database.
I have few ideas on how we can improve this app
And coming to transalations,
I have not worked on it.

butzist commented

@intellis-dev That sounds great! We are open to new ideas for improving the app. In particular, I think the usability (UI/UX) of the app could be improved e.g. instead of context menu, navigate to a new summary/editing page that allows execution of all actions.

Regarding translations, the only thing we need, is someone proof-reading the translations on Crowdin and then creating a PR with the updated translations.

intellis-dev commented

@butzist
Can we connect and discuss about this and when we are going to start development

@butzist I'm interested in maintaining build related code and improving CI and CD.

Hi @cujoXavier,

atm the biggest help would be if someone would review the translations on crowdin and create PRs with updates.

cujoXavier commented

Hi Adam,
Sorry for the late response, been a busy weekend.
Sure thing, translations, & PRs w/updates [✓]
I'll get started on it tonight, it's still early-ish- EDT 11PM, and I'll carve out a block of time for tomorrow afternoon as well.

AbhiTheModder commented

Hey, does the project still running 👀

butzist commented

Hey @AbhiTheModder , it is kind of running in maintenance mode - ie updating to new API versions and accepting PRs. But for the time being no new features from me.

Kaitul commented

Hi @butzist, can you add Traditional Chinese in Crowdin Project? I can help translate.

butzist commented

@Kaitul Sure, can do. Next time please create a separate issue for such requests.
