Readability

Much like my userscript questden_BLICK, there is emphasis on readability and thread-management.

Based on scientific publications I adjusted default colors, text-sizes, margins etc. However, there are also customization options to adapt the website to your needs.

Features

  • improved readability
  • customizable display
    • Font size bigger/smaller
    • 3 NSFW modes: always hide (SFW, doesn't download spoiler-images), download/show on tap (NSFW?) and always show spoilers (NSFW)
    • Hide all posts without images
  • saves last-read position for each post
  • Position/Navigation
    • Buttons for first/last/next/previous image
    • Position indicator for images in thread
    • tap links to jump and highlight to their posts
  • Watchlist
    • separate list of all your watched threads/quests
    • new posts and images since your last visit
    • update only posts on this list per button.
  • Synchronize with questden_BLICK
    • Experimental: only downloading works for now

Supports

Full support Android version >20.
Compatibility support Android version >17.

How to Install

Download the apk
You might need to allow installing apps from unknown sources. Open the file via browser or file-explorer and you will be prompted to install Since I'm unknown on playstore, "play protect" will warn you once. I there is an update, the app will prompt you to download the latest apk from this website (same link as above).

How to use

  • Navigation
    • Use the side-navigation to go to a board or your watchlist
    • Tap on a thread-title to go to the quest
    • Tap on thread-IDs to open that Post in your browser
    • Tap a message's text to toggle between navigation and fullscreen mode
    • Use the bottom navigation arrows to browse between images or board-pages
  • Features
    • Tap the sunglass for customisation (only-images-mode, font-size, SFW-mode)
    • Tap the "watch" button to add/remove a thread to your watchlist
    • The board-overview has shortened thread-texts. Tap to extent them.
    • Tap on images to see them fullscreen
      • The img-url will appear at the bottom. Tap to open in your browser
    • Tap the refresh button to update the current page
      • Watchlist: press the refresh-button to check for updates

Security and Privacy

The app does not collect or store any data about your behavior. It only requests questden.org when the user requests a page. It only stores app-specific settings, like last-read positions, your watch-list.
To check for updates, the start will make a request to github once per start for a file <1kb.

Syncing with questden_BLICK requires a user-account at https://phi.pf-control.de/tgchan/interface.php?login.
Requesting a sync will send and receive only necessary data from only that server. EU Privacy Policy is explained on the website.

The script uses bare volley https-requests qith only minimal data sent to questden.org. The response is parsed using a custom made html parser based on jsoup without executing flash or javascript.
