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_s...
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.
