📱 Data-Forums Android App v1.0 - how DF Labs shipped a native app in-house

---

🔧 What it is
A signed native Android application wrapping the Data-Forums experience: WebView core over our PWA-ready board, with native download handling, upload support, back-stack navigation and a themed splash - 37 KB, zero trackers.

✨ Under the hood

• Native WebView shell with DOM storage + cookie integration (login persists)
  
• DownloadManager bridge: vault zips & attachments save like native files
  
• onShowFileChooser support for avatar/attachment uploads
  
• Host-scoped navigation: data-forums.com in-app, everything else to the browser
  
• Material dark splash + adaptive launcher icon
  
• Compiled, zipaligned & apksigner-verified on our own build chain
  
• Companion PWA (manifest + service worker) for iOS & desktop install
  

📦 Distribution
Direct APK at data-forums.com/app today; Play Store listing queued behind a developer account. Updates ship by re-signing with our release keystore.

🗺️ Roadmap

• Push notifications for mentions & Freebie-of-the-Week drops
  
• Play Store listing
  
• Deep links to threads (open app from shared links)
