A native Wikipedia client for Jolla’s Sailfish OS, designed to provide a smooth, mobile-first reading experience.
Context
In 2013, Sailfish OS was new and had limited app availability. The mobile Wikipedia experience on the platform was subpar, so I built a native client that took advantage of the platform’s unique swipe-based UI paradigm.
Features
- Native Sailfish OS look and feel
- Swipe gestures for navigation
- Clean reading experience optimized for mobile
Technical Notes
It is mostly just a nice wrapper over a wikipedia web view.
