## Description This is an unofficial webview based client for the community-run, distributed social network diaspora*. 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 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. We use Crowdin to translate dandelion\*. Join our project here:
