/wallabag-v2-android

Alpha version of the wallabag android app, targetting Wallabag v2

Primary LanguageJavaGNU General Public License v3.0GPL-3.0

This is this a repository for people willing to work on an android app that will target Wallabag v2.

It is not in any way currently usable, and will never be usable for Wallabag v1.

Thus, the app will not replace the "InThePoche" android app but exists side by side, maybe under a name like "Wallabag (BETA").

This application is released under GPL v3

Plans

Walabag v2

The current wallabag app is a customized rss-reader. We can do better, but not on Wallabag v1, for which no new features will be added.

So our target is Wallabag v2 https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/tree/v2-silex

In particular, there is a draft of the future API in wallabag/wallabag#414

What will not be in the app at first

Since there will be few readers at first, since Wallabag v2 won't be deployed, we should not focus on the reading experience for users we won't have at first. The app could simply list all the articles, with their tags, that are in our bag.

No offline downloading. A button for opening the article in the users's favorite navigator or browser is enough.

No register process, let's the web part take care of that.

What will be in the app at first

Straightforward one time login process. BAG url and its password should be enough.

Integration with Google Push Messaging. Polling for new articles is a no-go.

Integration within android. We should be able to "Share" a link in Wallabag from anywhere in Android.
