Anchr for Android

Android client for Anchr.io link collections, built with Flutter. This project is in an early development phase and therefore not yet feature-complete or free of bugs.

Prerequisites

A hosted instance of Anchr and a registered account.
Flutter and Dart to be installed
Android Studio (or VSCode)
An Android device or emulator

How to run?

Check out repository
Make sure flutter doctor has no errors
flutter packages get
flutter run

Developer notes

State handling architecture inspired by vanilla.
Generate launcher icon: flutter packages pub run flutter_launcher_icons:main

Release

Have your keystore and password ready, e.g. ~/.android/keystore.jks
Make sure you have android/key.properties, which looks like so

storePassword=shhh
keyPassword=shhh
keyAlias=some_alias_eg_anchr
storeFile=/home/you/.android/keystore.jks

flutter build apk --release to build an APK
flutter build appbundle --release to build an AppBundle (recommended)

To Do

There is still plenty of space for improvements. Those include:

Add ability to sign up
Add ability to share collections
Improve database helpers (e.g. hide one-to-many relation between collections and links from the outside)
Enhance offline mode
- Show cached content while initial request is pending
Implement refresh tokens (requires backend changes)
Add tests
Clean up code
