Tusky
Tusky is a beautiful Android client for Mastodon. Mastodon is a GNU social-compatible federated social network. That means not one entity controls the whole network, rather, like e-mail, volunteers and organisations operate their own independent servers, users from which can all interact with each other seamlessly.
It is currently available for alpha testing on Google Play. You can also find it on F-Droid or at its F-Droid page.

Building
Dependencies

- Android SDK
The project uses the Gradle build system. Android studio uses Gradle by default, so it'd be straightforward to import this repository using your chosen version control software from the menu:
VCS > Checkout from version control > Git/SVN/Mercurial
After making it into an android studio project you can build/run as you wish.
It's also possible to build using Gradle by itself on the command line if you have it installed and configured. This repository includes a gradle wrapper script that can be used, following this guide Build You App On The Command Line.
