Android Client for Discourse

You can use this Android client to access xjtu.men, a Discourse powered forum-like communication platform for XJTU.

Or you can use it as a template by simply replacing xjtu.men with the URL of any website you like (also remember to change the launcher icon).

Features

• (optional) support embedded secure DNS (DNS over HTTPS) using okhttp
• support specifying which domains / URLs to open in system's default browser
• support uploading (no storage permission required) [ ] support (partial / full-site) cache [ ] automatically / periodically fetch new posts [ ] automatically connect to the optimal(closest) CDN edge server

Why not use off-the-shelf browser like Chrome / Firefox

Considering Google Play is inaccessible and even not pre-installed in some regions of the world, Chrome and Firefox are not readily available and hard to obtain, many people are accustomed to open a service by a single click on an icon in their launcher.

For users in other regions, as Discourse supports the Progressive Web Application feature, you can add a launcher icon by simply clicking 'Install APP' in Chrome or in Safari.

Discourse Android客户端

使用Kotlin开发，用WebView套了层壳，并且使用内嵌的安全DNS解析器解决校园网DNS污染导致网站打不开的问题。

使用客户端和直接使用浏览器相比，直连的速度并没有变化，要快仍然需要额外的工具。

经过测试，Chrome会默认使用QUIC连接，相比于HTTP/2 & TLS1.3的Firefox感觉上要快一点。

功能更新

• 对于所有非xjtu.men的链接，点击后自动用系统的默认浏览器打开
• 为了解决校园网的DNS污染，把xjtu.men到CloudFlare Edge的IP解析进行硬编码
• 内嵌基于okhttp的DNS over HTTPS (DoH)，1.1.1.1。 [ ] 自动选择最快的DoH服务器，参考DNSCrypt列表 [ ] 自动选择最快的CloudFlare Edge服务器，加速网站访问
• 由于网络是中国互联网用户的一个很大的瓶颈，将增加以下功能，优化用户体验： [ ] 使用缓存，避免每次打开网页过慢。（考虑到目前内容较少，也许可以采用全站本地存储？） [ ] 自动获取新内容，无需用户人工刷新
• 支持上传（也许无需打开访问/storage/emulated/0/的权限，调用接口即可）
