Interested in adding to/modding

Hi all,

I have been recently beginning my journey into coding. I have been looking for a project to do that interests me, and I re-stumbled on this app. I have been using it more recently and realized that it would be cool to make something like it, but also to maybe introduce some features that I think are missing or improve upon, as the app hasn't been updated in quite some time.

I saw an older post from several months ago about some people who were looking to add to the app if I understand it correctly?

I found the developers git repositories, but don't know if anything can/should be done with them.

Am I looking in the right area?

If you found the git repos, why not fork it and continue development for yourself? Make the changes that you like and install it on your own phone to test it out/"mod" it. If the project is still watched by the developers you can submit PRs from the changes that you make! Just make sure that you follow the terms of the licence included in the project.

Could you link the repo?

I just started using this app and I'd love to see it get updated. I have ideas for some improvements. It's really great for something so old. Unfortunately the notification sounds seem to not be working.

Apologies to all who have asked for the repo. I put this down and will need to double check for the link again.

I'm extremely limited in my programming skills, but I believe that the app needs a long overhaul.

While I can't provide the technical jargon, I'm full of ideas, and interested in providing any assistance necessary to upgrading the app, or creating a new one.

I would also like a app like this on IOS. PM me and let’s start assembling a team!

May I have the link for the dev's git repo? I'm returning back to coding and I want to extend this app that I've been using for years (five phones ago) as one of my projects.

This repo was last updated in 2012, however the app was last updated on 2017; there's most definitely stuff missing
