Relatica

A Flutter application for interfacing with the Friendica social network.

Project Objectives

• Have a native app client on mobile (Apple and Android) and desktop (Linux, Mac, and Windows)
• Providing a simpler UX for people to interact with Friendica
• Providing a better low-bandwidth environment experience than the web-app version running in a browser
• Reduce server side loading in the new fediverse era by doing techniques like leveraging paging of comments, local caching, and lazy loading.
• Provide more intuitive mechanisms for adding things like Content Warning/Spoiler text and image ALT-text

Current Status

The project is currently in an early-beta state. If you'd like to use it at this time please see the notes at Relatica Beta Testing Program.
