Hello all!,

Been working for a couple of weeks on the "Freenet Mobile" project[1].
It's a project that aims to enable anyone to run Freenet on their
Android phones.

Different to Icicle or similar projects, where the application connects
to a node running somewhere else, Freenet Mobile actually runs Freenet
on the phone.

Any feedback is welcome! You may give feedback, report issues or feature
ideas on this thread, on IRC (#freenet @ freenode) or on the issue
tracker[2].

Here are some details:

The project focuses on the following points:

- Be able to control Freenet: start and stop the node from the
application
- Quickly access Freenet: Once installed with a single tap the user
would be able to browse Freenet (no need to configure anything)
- Be able to run it at all times: It has various settings to preserve
battery and data so the user can leave the application running at all
times

Target user:

The target user for the application are people who want to browse
content on Freenet occasionally, test Freenet out or have a small node
running on a spare phone.

Current status:

*The application is not production-ready* as it need more testing. The
application runs on Android 5.1 and above and covers the points
previously mentioned.

Testing:

The application needs testing, particularly on older Android versions
and on a variety of phones.

If you want to give it a try and help testing it check out the releases
page[3]. Instructions on installing on the README[4].
