Source code of main app

[TheOneWithTheBraid]

Is the source code of the main Flutter app you produce available somewhere?

For a privacy-centred application, it's very important to enable users to check whether their privacy it really respected as stated - by showing the source code.

Moreover, I am sure, there are people willing to contribute to development. Especially a public issue tracker might be helpful too.

The app unfortunately is not open-source yet, but we will release it in the next months as a set of Flutter components plus the app itself.

We are not using GitHub as our issue tracker but we are looking at ways to make also this part of the development more open and involve people that are willing to contribute. Feel free to open issues if you find problems, are of improvements or you have further questions.

Thanks for the information. I'm very excited to see the sources and to contribute.

Do you have a clear roadmap of when to publish the source code?

Feel free to open issues if you find problems, are of improvements or you have further questions.

You mean, simply opening issues in this repo here?

Hi @TheOneWithTheBraid,

Many thanks for your interest in Xayn!

As @acrrd already mentioned, this is a work in progress and we try to get the sources out as soon as possible,
we also don't want to rush it, the full project actually consists out of many different libraries and standalone projects, some of those still require some extra attention from our side, until we feel that they are fully ready for a release.

Those tasks vary between better documentation, contribution guidelines, general code cleanup, templates for issues, ...
Just to name a few.

As a ballpark, I'd indeed say it's still a few months away.

Thanks a lot for the information, but more importantly: Thanks a lot for the amazing search engine!

I will stay tuned hence.

Hey, @frankpepermans,

just wondering whether there's any update on this? Is the entire source code available somewhere?

Even in case it's not entirely prepared for public availability - dirty open code is better than no open code.

Thanks!

Hey @TheOneWithTheBraid !

We're still working on this, but just to give you an update:

For the front end of things, we've decided to extract components which make sense into separate repositories which will all be open sourced.

For example, last week we've published the very first one to pub.dartlang, https://pub.dev/packages/xayn_swipe_it

There's a few more in the works, such as the html-to-reader-mode setup: https://github.com/xaynetwork/xayn_readability

In fact, all already public ones can be seen as well here: https://github.com/xaynetwork

The AI will of course follow, we think sometime Q1/Q2 of 2022.

Is there any specific repo that you wish to see? I assume it's just this one (xayn_ai)?
