DEV Community Android App

DEV iOS

This is the repo for the dev.to Android app. There is nothing here, but with your help, maybe we can get this up and running soon! Thing should relate ideologically to the concepts we are building with the iOS app.

To be clear: I'm not sure whether we use Turbolinks native or not, but the part I do agree with is using web views and native nav etc. where possible to start, and thene evolving as is natural.

To be clear, I'm not sure we need or want to use Turbolinks per se, but their ideas are agreeable to me.
