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
