Royalroad client for iOS & Android

Yarr

Unofficial RoyalRoad client for iOS and Android.

Introduction

This started as a first project for me in Flutter, going in blind. RR doesn't have an app (yet), so it was a great opportunity. You can browse the top trending, popular, and highly rated fictions, read chapter comments, search for fictions, and even change the font size, type, and dark/light mode. Further development will be to convert the project to use proper design patterns. An app-based library and progress feature may be in scope in the future, but I am unsure if login/follow list/reading progress updates with a RR account are in scope.

Getting Started

OSing the scraping code?

Hi Drew! Newbie here but would you be open to sharing how you collected RR data? I'm looking to do an independent learning project myself (studying data engineering atm) and would love to make something for the RR community. Thanks -D

Search met with "error"

So, yeah. That happens, and it doesn't seem to be just the title I was searching for. It covers all texts, even the titles of novels that appear on the home page.

F-Droid

Play store version broken

Published an update of the app a month ago to the play store, after two weeks! they responded saying I was violating copyright. My appeal showing RR doesn't violate anyone's copyright hasn't been reviewed in another two weeks now. I'll try and get this on F-Droid instead since this whole process has been terrible.
