V2

TLDR: New API, big changes incoming

The new API

Skolengo recently released a new app, and a completely new API alongside. This API has already been documented (https://github.com/maelgangloff/scolengo-api) and now it's time to implement it because:

• The old API will probably soon be obsolete
• The new API has more features

Consequences on the project

• This will require a rewrite of many things and dramatic structure changes in the app, so this will take quite some time.
• These may be the last features added to the app since I'll lose access to the service in approximately one month.
• I will take this opportunity to change other key components of the app
• Compatibility with the old API will most certainly disappear with V2
  As this will change a lot of things, I'm planning to make a V2 out of all of those changes.

Not so cool stuff

• Some features may have to get scrapped due to architecture changes (like downloading all messages and being able to search them)
• It's gonna take a lot of time and motivation so I may not finish a stable V2

Progress

Some issues have already been created, but the list is not complete by any means

• Migrate to scolengo-api #15
• Show more information for grades #26
• Remove first steps #23

ETA and miscellaneous

I'd like to be done in one month (= June 1st), and for now it seems doable for me. I'll keep you updated
If I succeed in making a working V2, I may re-publish the app to the google play store.

I pray with all my strength that your wishes are granted.
