A free open-souce client for Coursera (Android)

KOLANICH commented 6 years ago

Project description

There exists a proprietary app for Coursera. Unfortunately it has too many permissions and has not-enough customizeable interface.

The required features:

black theme
content (audio, video, subtitles, supplementary materials, quizes, etc.) downloading
quizes and built-in selfcheck quizes
search and enrolling into a new course
should be able to operate without any cache in flash memory (cache in RAM is allowed)
passing an URI to stream to an external player via intent.
as an option, custom pixel shaders, which can be used, for example, to turn white background into black (for example by inverting colors) to limit screen burn-in

It may worth to develop an universal video-playing app (for example NewPipe is developing this way, I have created an issue about Coursera support: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/1141) and support media sources like YouTube, Vimeo, Coursera, Stanford, MIT, etc as plugins.

Any Android developer.

Since NewPipe developers started implementating of multiple sources, I have created an issue about adding Coursera support into it: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/1141

Oh, not an open-source competitor to Coursera itself (that exists: edX) but an open source client for Coursera. Maybe remame this issue "a free open-souce client app for Coursera" or similar

Get the list of API exposed by Coursera or provide the link to get all API?
