Hi,
Initially, the plan is to let the app request a URL directly, for example
request({url:"https://...."})- I'd probably end up mirroring some existing API here (either Node's or XMLHTTPRequest).If you want an app that is easy to customise to different URLs then you can just create a
custom.htmlfor it to allow the user to customise it...The Android app's going to be just native Android, but it'll be as minimal as possible, with as many features as I can get away with implemented in HTML/CSS/JS in a WebView. Hopefully where that is loaded from will be configurable, so you'll be able to point it at your own personal GitHub pages for speedy development.
I'm not using React Native because it seems the Bluetooth and Notification libraries in it need a bit of tweaking to do what we need - so then any contributor would have to learn Android, React Native, and also the internals of the React Native libraries - which seems a step back from just a simple Android app.
