Hey Eric and Aarushi,
Awais Imran here (IRC: waisybabu). I was reading the conversation
between you, and Aarushi. I am interested in working on the WordPress
for Android app as well. For now, I am considering if I should work on
either 'Mobile In-App Search for Posts, Pages, and Comments' or 'View
Comments by Post', or both.
I have beginner-level experience with Android development, having
co-developed a popular screenshot utility called 'ShotDrop'. It has
received over 25,000+ downloads on the Play Store, so far. I do not
consider myself an expert, but I am a quick, self-motivated learner.
What would you recommend for me to do?
