New mobile app start
by Test 02 Jan '26

02 Jan '26

Hi All I'd like to write an Android app for my wiki. To start with, log me in. Opt in: show notifications from the Echo. Then opt in: show notifications from recent changes (it is tiny wiki, so not too many). Could you please guide me? Some hello world example would be great. I previously asked on wiki and was told that infrastructure for push notifications is missing, but nobody told me how to set it up. This would be my first Android app. I am "gry" on IRC. Thanks!
