DNEVNIK MOBILE APPLICATION
For our valued client, the company Dnevnik, we developed a hybrid mobile app called Časnik Dnevnik. This app enables users to view the printed version of the daily Dnevnik along with its supplements like Objektiv, Pilot, and Nika, among others. Users can read in both graphical and text modes, similar to an online version. The app also allows browsing through archived editions of Dnevnik. Once downloaded from the internet, the edition is saved locally on the device and stays there until deleted. After downloading, users can read the paper without needing an internet connection. The hybrid app was developed using the IONIC platform. Although fundamentally an online application, it operates within a “light container” of a native app, allowing access to specific features of the native platform and hardware (such as the camera, calendar, push notifications, and touch gestures), which online apps usually cannot access. Similar to online applications, hybrid apps are built with widely used front-end technologies like JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, enabling them to run across different platforms. Like native apps, hybrid ones can also be downloaded from app stores (Apple App Store and Google Play). The back end of the Dnevnik application was developed using .NET MVC, and it is compatible with both Android and iOS devices.
