Please clarify what the external libraries are used for? #120

The build.gradle contain quite a lot of dependencies on external libraries. As a privacy project, it would make sense to more clearly explain in the README (or linked elsewhere) why these are used and for what. I.e. Why can they be trusted?

FWIW the libraries are listed at the bottom of the Readme and you can click on any of them to learn what they do...

Yes, I can click on all 15, but that was exactly the point, not to have to do.

We'll work on an update for the website, permission and dependency info as part of our 0.2.0 rollout in the coming weeks.
