StackExchange app for Sailfish OS?
asked 2018-12-14 11:52:06 +0200
Are there any readers of StackExchange out there?
Currently there is an awesome native app called "SailStack" available. Unfortunately its developer forgrimm has left the Sailfish community long ago due to uncertain predictions for the future development of Sailfish OS. Maybe he did not detect its rebirth with Xperia X and Xperia XA 2 yet. :-)
However, SailStack could receive some improvements in eyes of adding an option to choose favorite channels etc. (to avoid scrolling down the whole list until reaching the desired channel). On his GitHub-page forgrimm is writing "Feel free to fork SailStack".
Are there any of you guys reading StackExchange out there? Would you have the skills to maintain/fork this app and continue its development a little further? Or even better, does anyone have contact to forgrimm?
you could post it at this question maybe someone is interested....

It seems to use the same engine as StackExchange, so it should be one API url edit from supporting StackExchange sites. It's likely not that simple, but most of the code could probable be reused, if license allows.
