#Adding friends retroshare code

For example, now, after adding friend we have to yet find his identity in search box to add him to contact and finally after those steps we can message him. Future improvements have to be made so user will have to only operate with identities.

At this point, user still have to be aware of how Retroshare works under the hood.

This will involve redesigning the way it works now.

#Adding friends retroshare code

After merging Retroshare’s short certs, add QR code as a default way to add friends.

Improve chat backend, especially much needed storage of history.

Explore possibility to add tor option as it is in Retroshare desktop app.

Who wants to manage the process themselves that is still in the background anyway? Current system is confusing and leaves much to be desired.

Bundle backend and frontend into one app.

This will enable app to have message notifications and optimize its performance.

Make a good use of and improve Retroshare’s Json api event system.

In particular, I would like to focus on these features: There are still many interesting things to do in this project and for this reason I intend to continue my work.

create with avatar, change and delete our identities,.

add friend via certificate and share ours,.

Featuresįunctionalities that are now available in the application: This should ensure relative code readability, an optional ability to port the code to iOS, and relatively fast application performance.

Thanks for them!Īpplication was fully written in Dart using Flutter. Illustrations of empty screens are provided by Icons8. Because of this I recorded a walkthrough of the application. Now it’s time to show off final design, but it is difficult to describe the appearance of the application and it makes little sense to paste several screens here. I have posted my proposed design in this post. Logoīelow you can see the new Retroshare logo, which is the main logo for this application, and in other projects its use will depend on the acceptance by users and the profile of the project.

The new logo, which is also part of this project, was intended to reflect new direction of this software. The aim of my project as I mentioned in my first post is to build a mobile application oriented around the chat, with a big focus on the modern look. – backend application that you can build from the Retroshare repository: ) Overview (Please note that you need the “Retroshare Service/Core” application in order for the application to work properly.

You can find the application code at my github repository:Īnd the application itself, ready to use here: In this post I will present what has been done, what has not worked out and what is still to be done. For this reason, I would like to start by thanking the freifunk community, Google and, in particular, my mentors for the opportunity to participate in this rather special program. GSoC 2019 is coming to an end and for this reason it is unfortunately my last blog post on freifunk.
