Mobile Version of Privly

[Pritam Kumar Singh]

Sir,

I am Pritam Kumar Singh, currently doing my Engineering from BITS Pilani University, India. 

I have worked in Java, C, Android(native), PHP, HTML and MySQL. Last year I also did a summer training with MIT-IMI (Indian Mobile Initiative) on  Developing Android applications, and have been doing so for a year. I am also currently doing a project in Getting Efficient solution of liquid state Integral Equations using Nitsol Algorithm. Also, I am solely working on an Android project for a startup iMyGoal (handling both UI and its functioning)

I am very much interested in contributing myself for this project, I would really like to put my experiences for a very good organization like yours. Since my summer vacations will be  starting from 1st May- 5th August 2013, I am ready to put on 8-10 hours per day in order to make an efficient and effective application.

Sorry for starting the conversation so late. 

So, through this android application, we have to get the content through URI.parse and OAUTH library from the privly server and post it into the facebook or any other social networking sites. Apart from this what else the Privly mobile application will be doing.

I will be really grateful if you can give me some feedback on this, I will be very interested in going forward and will like to give some inputs on the successful implementation of the application.

Thanking you,

Pritam

Pritam,

Welcome!

The mobile application has been one of our more popular GSoC "ideas"
this round and a few people are already working on it. The approach I
have been taking with popular ideas is to carve the idea up into
different aspects so each applicant can fully develop an approach to
one of the subproblems. By breaking it up in this way, the GSoC
applications emphasize depth over breadth of coverage, but it will be
clear whether the plan has an appreciation for the larger context of
the project. People are welcome to continue developing their proposal
regardless of whether Google will fund it, but we don't know how many
allocations Google will give Privly.

People are currently working on:

1. Android Posting Application Design
2. iOS Posting Application Design
3. API-driven reading of linked content

1 and 2 are geared towards generating new content and posting the
resulting links to various applications.

3 is about making it easy to read private content on the mobile
device, but it is geared towards hooking explicitly into various phone
APIs. We can probably provide better usability using these APIs
explicitly, but it is not an ideal solution because it requires us to
keep up with the platform changes of any supported service. Another
approach is to extend a mobile browser, such as Firefox's mobile
browser, to give an experience similar to reading content on the
Chrome extension.

Do you want to take up the cause of extending a mobile browser?
