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
