Android Developer: Steemit Android App

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

I would like to develop an Android app for Steemit (Open Source).  

Since I'm new here I wanted to ask some questions:

  1. What would be the main features needed? Basically explore/search/post?
  2. So far I haven't found a Java library for using Steemit, anyone? other directions? anyone from the project can comment on this issue?
  3. Any open source apps out there that can be considered as a good base?
    maybe reddit app like https://github.com/QuantumBadger/RedReader?

I'm using this post also to see if there is a need. :)

Sort:  

Maybe it's better to modify this website to be a Progressive Web Application?

Interesting, I'll look into it.

Just be the first! And the rest will follow!
And good luck in achieving the goal! :)

because i bad creator xD

I created a slack channel so we can better communicate:
https://steem.slack.com/messages/android-app/

Also invited some people that already mentioned on slack android app development.

Would be a fantastic idea, and if it would handle images and videos that would be a really amazing feature, that is uploading videos to somewhere and link it in automatically.

But yes a steemit app would be a really good idea.

Yeah, image/video uploading would be a great feature... which service would you like to see? probably need to implement a couple of options for that.

I'm pretty sure I watched an interview with one of the steemit developers and they stated it was planned. no brainer obviously

Here is an Archive of Cryptocurrency App building Code on Github for anyone creating a Steemit app
