Lend a hand

Some quick, incomplete thoughts on what's next.

Enhancements

• Find some nice monospace fonts
• More sophisticated pivot choosing
• Better handle "Chapters" with epublib, or some other epub library
  • This seems unreasonably hard.

Features

• Read text from clipboard

Building

0. Make sure you've installed the following from the Android SDK Manager before building:

   • Android SDK Build-tools 19.0.2
   • Android SDK tools 22.3
   • SDK Platform 19
   • Android Support Repository 4

1. Define the ANDROID_HOME environmental variable as your Android SDK location.

   If you need help check out this guide.

2. Build!

   To build an .apk from this directory, make sure ./gradlew is executable and run:

    $ ./gradlew assemble
   

   The resulting .apk will be availble in ./app/build/apk.

Thanks

A Note About the Name

OpenSpritz has nothing to do with Spritz Incorporated. This is an open source, community created project, made with love because Spritz is such an awesome technique for reading with.
