mobile clients

[hitchhiker]

Reading up on the REST API made me think that it already has most of the functionality a mobile client would need. I am planning to start by writing a dart api client, to be used in flutter-based mobile apps. Anyone else interested in joining in? And if people have tried writing mobile clients before, any pitfalls I should be aware of?

No hot tips, as my only mobile dev experience is with Android SDK stuff about five years ago (and I hated it), but as the person on the other end of most of that code, feel free to give a shout if you find any weirdness/find stuff you wish you had access to! What's up for testing on my dev account is probably 80% final at this point in terms of what it takes and what it returns.

Also, it might be worth looking into if there are any existing OpenAPI parsers than can do the heavy backend lifting for you in terms of the HTTP stuff - https://openapi.tools/ has a list of OpenAPI tools but is by no means comprehensive.

thanks, that looks like a useful resource!

I would be interested in doing a little more Flutter.

I have nothing useful to say, but I like to hear that people are working on clients.
