Is there enough data for us to write a custom Sololearn client app?

That's my question. I was always interested in this, I've seen a lot of custom Telegram or Discord mobile and PC clients, but can we write one for Sololearn, that isn't just a WebViewer with sololearn.com? 😄

Telegram has an official public API which lets any developer build a custom client. https://core.telegram.org/ In case of Discord, they do have an API for integration, but building a separate custom app that imitates the Discord app, is actually illegal (contradicts their Terms of service) https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/8dsums/are_you_allowed_to_make_your_own_discord_client/ In case of Sololearn they do not even offer a public API, and reverse engineering or modifying the official app is certainly illegal. This is even in best case a grey area legally, depending on what and how you try to implement, so I would not bother trying.

<DD status="busy"> what you are describing, is software piracy, it is illegal, violating copyright laws, and can get you into serious trouble. However this kind of activity is discouraged on Sololearn, such codes and contents are prohibited by the Terms of Use. When in doubt, please read it again. https://www.sololearn.com/terms-of-use/
