The latest update to the site code has broken the search feature.
The application is abandoned until a new maintainer is found.
Update Jan, 2017:
Further development of the application has ceased. Critical issues (e.g. startup crashes) are going to be addressed, but no upcoming features are planned.
You can get the latest version
here. It has filters, complex searches, and image interactions (favorites, upvotes, and downvotes). As far as I know,
and I could be wrong, this is the only mobile client that still supports Derpibooru.
If you’re comfortable with Java and willing to maintain the project, feel free to contact me. I’ll try to offer some help and advice.
Original post (Feb, 2016):
Hey,
a long-time pony fan there!
One day I was thinking, perhaps there’s something I can do for the wonderful community here? And think up I did — a mobile app would’ve been really nice to have!
So, the thing is, I’m an Android developer, and I’ve drafted up a rough version of what I see as the mobile Derpibooru. *
Here are some pictures of what it can do.
To be exact:
— It respects
filters, including your custom ones. It pops a spoiler picture when
a tag is spoilered, it hides entries hidden by you.
— It searches the booru (minding the filter, obviously). Custom
search options are
all here.
— It seamlessly scrolls through image
comments. Swipe down if you need to refresh ‘em.
— It digs up info ‘bout the image — the uploader, description and
tags.
— It logs into your account, bringing your
watched images to the main screen.
Now, about that last one. A concern may arise — quite understandably — upon trusting your credentials to a third party. The decision is entirely upon you. I can only add that e-mail and password are never stored on the device — only the cookies are.
With that being said…
*You can download the APK @
GitHub, the source code’s also there.
Unfortunately, Google Play rejected it outright due to “intellectual property policy issues”, which is, to be honest, not a big surprise really. I am looking into alternative distribution paths, but for now if you decide to give it a try you have to watch for the
updates manually — the easiest way is to follow me *on
Twitter.
As for the future:
At the moment, I’m working on image interactions (upvote/downvote/fave). I’ll dedicate time to fixing stuff as well, as soon as bug reports appear.
The frequency of updates will depend entirely on your feedback!
