Orbin Minimal is a focused Android imageboard client maintained independently from the full Orbin application.
Minimal intentionally supports only the core browsing loop:
- followed boards combined into a single activity-sorted feed
- board management
- thread reading
- image/media viewing
- Vichan- and Lynxchan-compatible providers
- local caching and lightweight persistence
- a fixed, opinionated experience instead of the full Orbin settings surface
The project does not depend on the full Orbin feature, domain, data, UI, or build-logic modules. Proven algorithms and protocol behavior may be selectively ported from Defuuls/Orbin, but every dependency added here must be justified by Minimal's own requirements.
The clean rebuild starts as a single Android application module with package boundaries for model, network, provider, data, media, and UI features. Modules will only be split out when there is a measurable maintenance or build benefit.
See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the dependency rules and migration policy.
