Heya, is someone already working on this?

If not, I'll do it. This is my first work on Nextcloud stuff, though, so I'll benefit from some hand-holding.

Thanks!

@srbaker Sorry for the delay. Sure, It would be awesome if you would jump in and help us improve deck.

It would require implementing some extra API controllers similar to what the news app does: https://github.com/nextcloud/news/blob/master/lib/Controller/FeedApiController.php

Although it would be great to have some concept before starting the implementation. You can have a look at the v2 API proposal of the news app here as well: https://github.com/nextcloud/news/blob/master/docs/externalapi/External-Api.md

If you have any further questions feel free to ask or ping me on irc.

Perfect, thanks. I'll take a look at this on the weekend. I'm very excited to be able to replace Trello with something that I can share with my family. And I really want there to be a desktop and Android app as well. :)

Android app

And that's what i am interested in to develop ;-)

[juliusknorr]

@srbaker I've invited you to be a repo contributer, so you can directly push branches when developing.

Perfect, thanks! I didn't get as far as I wanted this weekend, but I have several hours in the evenings this week. I'll push up the in-progress stuff once I get the first simplest endpoint working.

Cheers!

@srbaker @juliushaertl
If we have a REST-API it shouldn't be that complicated to add an iOs/Android application.
Have done similar to some home automation stuff

[juliusknorr]

@srbaker Any news from your api implementation? Is there anything you need help with?

[srbaker]

Heya, sorry for the radio silence. Got a bit slowed down, but I have vacation time next week and I'm hoping to wrap up my work then.
