Windows 10 App
Is anyone working on or thinking of working on a Windows 10 app for reading light novels using Baka Tsuki? Otherwise, I'm considering starting development on one sometime in the near future. Let me know your thoughts and what you'd like to see.

I think that's your answer. xD I look forward to see what you come up with.

Re: Windows 10 App
Hi
I'm on typescript/cordova app. Work on android, probably on IOS and windows phone.
you can found here my sources => https://github.com/Masclaux/LightReader
Actually I'm not satisfied of my source code and the framework I using is discontinued. I'm working hardly too find other technologies and rewrite some part .
Maybe a good start point for you.
PS: actually it work only with visual studio 2013 update 4.

Re: Windows 10 App
If you wish to start development on a windows 10 app, i would be more than happy to help you with that. I worked a bit trying to create a baka-tsuki app for windows phone 8.1, but i haven't worked on it in a while because of the start of my summer. What language would you be using? Most of my experience lies in c#, but i probably can adapt.

Hi no problems you're welcome.
Actually i'm made a huge clean on code base( rename crappy class etc etc ).
I'm started to implement winjs template :http://try.buildwinjs.com. Commit this weekend ( if i'm return safe to my bike road trip )
Like you i'm ( a lot ) better in .net and if I choose cordova + typescript app it's because I have a windows phone and an android tab.

Re: Windows 10 App
okay, over the next few days i will review the repository, and see if i can't make out how the program works so far. Since this is currently just a test universal application, i take it the look and feel of the application doesn't matter as much as the functionality?

Hi,
I am interested in helping out in the project if it is possible, I have some experience in DotNet and C# but willing to learn others.
Thanks

Re: Windows 10 App
HI
Sorry for my late reply ( forget password at work).
Everyone is welcome
I'm not a typescript expert too ^^
Repository location => https://github.com/Masclaux/LightReader
You can found my previous project here => https://github.com/Masclaux/LightReader_Old . The old project is more advanced but, I didn't like my project structure (and the use of Swiss army knife framework).

Re: Windows 10 App
Hi, I've created an API for parsing and pulling the BT mediawiki data here : https://baka-tsuki-api.herokuapp.com/
Would love to see it used and get more feedback on how to polish it. It's currently also being used by AzSiAz to create an iOS app.
Edit: I'm thinking of using NodeJS to write a universal app and then publish using node-webkit and phonegap, but that'll have to wait until my holidays and ZNT translations backlog

Winter's the time of the year,
when the cold chill the skin,
from the very within,
but you grasped my hand,
your eyes shedding a frozen tear.
Our eyes met,
and warmth filled the air.

wow, someone is actually working on fixing the API. Wonderful day indeed . The way it was set up was kind of unpleasant/cumbersome.

Re: Windows 10 App
Nice good to see that !
If you search for a Phonegap app we are working on it.
For your API we can make a test. Actually we have your own parser but, Lightreader project can use multi-parser ( if i can avoid develop parser i'm Happy:) ) .
Last, does your api is stable ? does he have a good uptime ? OpenSource ?

Edit: The server accidentally misinterpreted that I was going to edit alex's answer.
He said that he could test my api and had their own parser, but Light reader would require a parser.
Currently it is pretty stable (I don't plan to change features in the near future until it's time for version 2.0).
I'm aiming for full coverage, and until now (at least from what I hear from the person developing the iOS app) the API only has partial problems for only 4 titles.
The only thing lacking now is documentation (which I'm working on now) and hosting options.

Re: Windows 10 App
Yes but, no need to parse HTML. Just get data.But Light reader would require a parser.
Maybe contact administrator.[...] hosting options

Re: Windows 10 App
I'm getting HTML from the mediawiki api to extract data.
Sample JSON response here (from https://baka-tsuki-api.herokuapp.com/ap ... volumeno=1)
Note: I'm using http://jsonprettyprint.com/ to pretty print the data, so the unicode characters have been encoded. The original response is decoded.
