Diverk is a simple app that allows you to browse a GitHub repository on your Android device. It renders markdown files and is thus mainly used to access personal notes or documentation written in this format.
It is available on google play and on the web.
It is able to access private repositories when given a valid access token. We recommend using fine-grained access tokens for this purpose.
Note that the app uses the GitHub API and is thus subject to rate limiting. Without a token, the rate limit is 60 requests per hour. It roughly corresponds to 60 pages per hour. It should be enough for quickly looking up something. But for a more intensive use, we recommend using a token.
Using a token increases the rate limit to 5,000 requests per hour. More information about rate limits is available in the GitHub documentation. Additionally, to be able to search in a repository, a token is mandatory. This uses the search code feature of the GitHub API. For this specific feature, the rate limit is 10 searches per hour.
The app is written in Haskell using the obelisk framework.
Start a shell with ob command:
$ nix-shellRun locally the app with:
$ ob runand go to http://localhost:8000 to access it.
To hack on the code, haskell-langage-server can be made available in the shell with:
$ ob shellThe Android app can be built with:
$ nix-build -A android.frontend -o result-androidPlug your phone with USB debugging on, then run:
$ ./result-android/bin/deployto install the app on the device.
