= Tahoe-LAFS Mobile =

As [https://lists.tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2024-February/010066.html announced to the tahoe-dev mailing list], [https://leastauthority.com/ Least Authority] is working, since 2024-04, on a mobile client application for Tahoe-LAFS:

> * Mobile app:
>   * start with the "!PrivateStorage Mobile" android-only read-only app
>   * support arbitrary grids
>   * port to iOS
>   * add upload

== Links ==

* The mentioned "!PrivateStorage Mobile" app can be found [https://whetstone.private.storage/privatestorage/privatestoragemobile here].
* The work on changing that into an app that works with arbitrary grids, also works on iOS and can upload to Tahoe happens [https://gitlab.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs-mobile/ here] (Code repo, milestones, issue tracker).
* The application is building on the new [https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tahoe-great-black-swamp Haskell client library].

== Goals ==

The [https://gitlab.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs-mobile/-/milestones milestones] should reflect the current state.

- We first want to be able to read files from arbitrary tahoe-lafs storage servers.
- Also on iOS.
- We want to be able to save files to the grid (this is a big one, as the Haskell protocol stack is missing most of this so far)
- Integration with the OSses (Android, iOS) to be able to open files from and share files to the app
- Would be nice to also get a working in-browser client out of this (The [https://github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk framework in use] supports that in theory)

== Non-Goals ==

- Be a storage server/join a grid as a storage node
- Fix introducers to work with GBS instead of Fools Cap (so far: Just list the storage servers you want to use)
- ...
