Hanu-Droid Framework and Apps
Hanu-Droid is an Android framework that helps you develop Android apps without even basic knowledge of programming.
Wondering if that is possible? Yes it is.
The Framework
The basic concept of Hanu Droid framewrok is deliver dynamic content on Android phones. This idea was first conceptualized (in 2012) mainly for the Desi Jokes app.
The idea was that we'll create curated jokes content in a backend content management system. The new content will be delivered to Android phones via push notifications. The users will get new Jokes everyday.
The idea may seem very ordinary today, but back in 2012 it was revolutionary. I did not find many apps / frameworks that do this.
I chose wordpress as the backend content management system.
I developed a wordpress plugin that basically delivers content to the mobile.
I developed a 'generic' Android framework that can connect to any wordpress site (via the plugin)
Apps based on HanuDroid framework
After the initial success of the framework, I used this to quickly churn out several apps with least amount of coding.
At one point in time the Hindi Jokes app was very popular. It has 100K+ downlods.
