# Diaspora
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
### License
|
|
It's released under GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (see LICENCE).
|
|
|
|
### Native
|
|
It's "native" because it's developed in Java + the Android SDK (Android Studio). Other Diaspora clients are developed using frameworks like AppCelerator Titanium. A native app will always be more efficient and almost certainly be faster and make better use of the resources of the device.
|
|
|
|
### "WebApp"
|
|
It's a WebApp because at this moment Diaspora doesn't have an 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 only WebApps for Diaspora out there.
|
|
Why a WebApp is 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 :)
|
|
|
|
### System Requirements
|
|
The minimum version supported is Ice Cream Sandwitch, Android version 4.0.3 (or API 15)
|
|
|
|
### Permissions
|
|
It requires access to the Internet and to external storage to be able to upload photos when creating a new post and for taking screenshots.
