ui: Do not pull contributors and change-log from GitHub #173

Closed velitasali closed 3 years ago

Right now the app pulls contributors and change-log data from GitHub. The problem is old devices that don't receive updates may not be able to pull that data as they may have expired CA certificates. The solution is to have those certificates stored in the app. However, it is not worth the effort and time. I tried using Retrofit, but it doesn't support Android API 20 and below. I think it is better to remove it altogether and store change-log data as an asset.

Completely agree. I personally like everything offline.
