Hey guys,

as preparation with the upcoming meeting I'm leaving some ideas and todos here on what would need to be done in the next couple of days / weeks in order to make progress on this front.

Rewriting the android app is going to be a major task and will include, but is not limited to

• [ ] Deciding upon which ecosystem to use (e.g. React Native vs. Android Native vs. ...)
• [ ] Designing the overall application architecture
• [ ] Deciding on which language to use (Java, Javascript, Kotlin, ...)
• [ ] Deciding which frameworks to make use of
  • Http Requests
  • Database Model
  • Error Reporting
  • Pushnotifications
  • Location Services
  • UI
• [ ] See if / what of the existing code base can be reused (e.g. UI elements?)
• [ ] Coming up with tasks from the things above and how to implement them
• [ ] Assign tasks to members in in android team
• [ ] Giving an estimate on what will take which time
• [ ] Creating GH Issues for most of the stuff that is said above in order to properly keep track of whats going on --> Might be a good idea to create a milestone for this when concrete tasks are decided upon
