Me and a friend ([[User:Notnarayan]])) have been working on a Signpost
app in our spare time for a while. This lets you access Wikipedia
Signpost from a mobile device in a nice and (hopefully) beautiful way.
More information at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Signpost_Mobile_App
Today, I'm putting out RC1 of the version 1 of this app. You can
download it at https://github.com/yuvipanda/WPSignpost/WPSignpost-1.0RC1.apk/qr_code
and file issues at
https://github.com/yuvipanda/WPSignpost/issues?state=open.
You can find screenshots of the current version of the app at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_Signpost_Android_App_…
For this version, features so far are:
1. Load current issue of the Signpost
2. Browse through and load any previous issue of the Signpost
3. Beautiful Image based display of each signpost issue
4. Articles are formatted easily for viewing on your mobile device
5. Sharing of articles from the app
All of them have been implemented, and provided no major new issues
are found, I'll push this version to the Google Play store in a week.
Please do test it out on your device, and report issues either at the
github url specified above or by replying to this email.

Hi,
Today i tried to use the QRpedia codes form my android phone. the QR code
scanner app asked me to open the link on the Wikipedia Android app or on
the browser. When i select the wikipedia app, the app shows me an empty
page, but the browser can open the link properly.
I think it would be great if is it possible to update the Wikipedia app, to
open the qrpedia links.
regards

Hi,
The WLMMobile app has complete or nearly complete translations to 28
languages already.[1] Unfortunately, the translators cannot see the
results of their work and test them. According to Yuvi, pull request
#101 [2] is supposed to fix it, but it is not merged yet.
I invited translators to translate this app and now they are rightly
bugging me and asking when will they be able to see their work.
Can anybody please give some priority to this issue? The reason for
urgency is that testing the app in other languages will definitely
uncover bugs that will have to be fixed before the release.
Thank you!

Hi,
I understood from Niklas and Siebrand that the WLM app is ready to be
enabled on translatewiki.net from our side.
What we need from the Mobile Team now is these things:
1. Write proper qqq documentation. Actually, this is almost complete
in GitHub already. I made a few little changes and sent a pull
request. I only found one message that looks like it needs
documentation by you (see the pull request).
2. Create the WLMMobile project page in translatewiki.net. I created
the draft based on the Wikipedia app, but you have to edit it to match
this app:

Thank you!
