Open Source Android App

General Discussion
1

I’d like to be able to take the wordpress android app source code , strip out :-

  • Jetpack.
  • Tracking Code.
  • Any editor other than the classic editor.
  • Upgrade nagging.

Could someone more skilled than myself either create the APK , and / or create instructions so that I could achieve it.

I think this would be a good project for the ClassicPress environment and I’m happy to support this effort financially.

Thanks.
Mark.

The app as of now Is not necessary. You can manage your CP install from a browser (I use Firefox).
And browsers nowadays ask you if you want to put a quick link icon on the home screen that you can use just as if it was an app to immediately open your site admin.

Moreover, if I am not mistaken an app might need to use xmlrpc file that if I recall correctly is disabled by default in CP for security reasons.

If you want to have an app however you could hire a mobile app dev to help you.

Thanks @ElisabettaCarrara

You’re right , my requests are all met by simply switching to a secure browser.

The interface is also surprising quick, more-so since I host my site on Tor.

I guess my app use was just a hold-over from using WordPress previously.

However , if any developers are interested in the android app project then my offer is still open.

Glad you’re finding the CP interface so quick. While it might not be obvious from visual appearances, we have stripped out a lot of the old JavaScript from the admin and replaced it either with native HTML5 or modern JavaScript, both of which are significantly faster.

Thanks @timkaye , the minimization is something that has really impressed me with the ClassicPress project.

Less is more.

Thank you for running it.
