Alternate Todo is an open-source and accessible Android app for creating and managing everyday tasks on a quick and easy way. I've started it as a free-time project when a friend of mine, who is also blind Android user like myself, was searching for such kind of app. Since he had lots of tasks to remember, he wanted an app that will be much easier to use than native Calendar apps, so I've tried to develope something for his needs. And, that's how this app was created.

Alternate Todo in it's 1.X release currently does not support notifications and alarms, but it certainly will in the future. It's currently good for people who just wanna enter tasks and review them later when they launch an app.

To run and compile the application, you need the following:

• If you're a blind developer, you need a physical Android device, running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (API16) or later. A minimum Android version may change in the future if required. If you're sighted, feel free to use an emulator.
• Android Studio version 4.1 or later with latest Android SDK, latest Kotlin plugin and latest Gradle build system.
• Build tools V30.0.2 required
• Java JDK, version 8.

You can contribute code via Pull Requests. You can also submit language translations and visual layout improvements, which is more than welcome. Also, if you wanna contribute code, make sure to have the following:

• A knowledge of Kotlin programming language and it's features, such as Coroutines, extensions etc.
• A knowledge of Android Jetpack libraries, especially Room for database management, Hilt for dependency injection, and Lifecycle / Lifecycle extensions for working with view models.
• A knowledge of working with Gradle build system.
• A knowledge of xml if you wish to contribute translations or layout files.
• A knowledge of Android SDK, developing UI layouts, working with view binding, working with fragments and adapters, etc.
