theyoungauthors

A simple application which retrieves a random post from theyoungauthors.com.

What can this application do?

• This application can display random submissions from theyoungauthors.com.
• This application supports users of theyoungauthors.com to log in to the website (using an Android Web View) and add submissions to the site.
• This application offers an alternative to using theyoungauthors.com as a web application.

How does this appliaction work?

• This application requires only Internet permissions to work on your device.
• The application connects with theyoungauthors.com and requests a random submission (using the random submission feature deployed there).
• The application then parses the submission to display only the text in an Android Web View.

Alright, now let me download the thing!

Some things to note:

• The scraper, get_random_post.py, is custom written specifically for theyoungauthors.com. It may not work for any other Wordpress sites. I'm not sure, I haven't tested it.
• Different larger screen sizes might have some weird UI effects...
• This Application is arguably unnecessary, YOLO. Don't @ me <3
