About the project

This project is aimed at providing an option to browse/search the Wikimedia Commons using the app.

Why this feature is needed?

  • More and more, users are asking (as evidenced by Play Store feedback), people want to be able to also browse existing Commons images via the app.
  • Quality of uploads should increase by letting users see other people's work.

What can be implemented?

  • Image Search on Wikimedia Commons using a title.
  • Restrict the search results to images, or make sure no crash happens when opening exotic formats such as SVGs or sounds
  • Link to the Media Details activity to see an image's details
  • Category Search on Opening details shows the sub-categories, parent categories and the images present in that category
  • Skip login feature
