1. Introduction
DioHub is an open-source unofficial GitHub mobile client, that aims to deliver the ultimate GitHub experience on mobile devices.
No, there is a big update that has been in works for a while now, progress has just been slow because, well, I work on this in my free time. However, I expect to put out a few dev releases in the coming months, and hopefully, a full play store & app store release soon, once everything is ready. Keep an eye on the releases section if you would like to keep up with the dev builds. There is also a Telegram group for any discussion on the project.
