## Description
This is an unofficial webview based client for the community-run, distributed social network <b><a href="https://diasporafoundation.org/">diaspora*</a></b>.
It's currently under development and should be used with that in mind. Please submit any bugs you might find.

#### WebApp
The app is developed as a WebApp because currently diaspora\* doesn't have an functional API that can be used to create a native interface to retrieve the user's data, publications, direct messages and so on. That's why there are currently only WebApps for diaspora\* out there.
[Stay tuned on diaspora\* issues](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/labels/api) about API.

Why is a WebApp better than using the mobile site on a browser?
Basically it provides better integration with the system (events coming into and going out of the app), notifications, customized interface and functions and a nice little icon that takes you directly to your favorite social network :)

#### Device Requirements
The minimum Android version supported is Jelly Bean, Android v4.2.0 / API 17

### Privacy & Permissions<a name="privacy"></a>
dandelion\* requires access to the Internet and to external storage to be able to upload photos when creating a new post and for taking screenshots.


## Contributions
The project is always open for contributions and accepts pull requests.
The project uses [AOSP Java Code Style](https://source.android.com/source/code-style#follow-field-naming-conventions), with one exception: private members are `_camelCase` instead of `mBigCamel`. You may use Android Studios _auto reformat feature_ before sending a PR. See [gsantner's android contribution guide](https://gsantner.net/android-contribution-guide/?packageid=com.github.dfa.diaspora_android&name=dandelion&web=https://github.com/gsantner/dandelion&source=readme#logcat) for more information.

Translations can be contributed on GitHub or via [E-Mail](https://gsantner.net/#contact). You can use Stringlate ([![Translate - with Stringlate](https://img.shields.io/badge/stringlate-translate-green.svg)](https://lonamiwebs.github.io/stringlate/translate?git=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fgsantner%2Fdandelion.git)) to translate the project directly on your Android phone. It allows you to export as E-Mail attachement and to post on GitHub.
