What progress was made on your grant this month?
- Significant progress was made on the stability & usability of the app. The pairing process was streamlined to a single QR code, dark mode added, group leaving implemented, UI overhauled, many bugs fixed, etc.
- Significant effort was made on getting listed on app stores. It is now on the app store, and is pending release on the play store.
- The core library, s5_messenger got a good deal of work done & critical bugs fixed.
- A landing page was created for the app.
Summarize any problems that you ran into this month and how you’ll be solving them.
- Play store listing is significantly slower than I expected. It requires a week initial review, then two weeks of independent beta testing (that I paid a service to complete), and then there is another review process after that. Even though this grant is officially complete, I will continue to work with Google to get it listed in the next week or so as the testing period comes to an end.
List repos worked on this month with links to PRs and relevant commits:
What will you be working on next?
Apart from working with google to complete the listing in the play store, this grant is now completed so I won’t be spending significant developer time on this project from now on. I will likely build and push small updates as I see fit as I use it in the future.
