API Integration: Askbot should provide an API (Application Programming Interface) that allows communication between the mobile app and the Askbot platform. This API should support functionalities such as user authentication, fetching questions and answers, posting new questions, and voting on answers. Mobile App Development: Develop the mobile app using a suitable framework (e.g., React Native, Flutter, or native iOS/Android development). Use the API endpoints provided by Askbot to fetch data and interact with the platform from the mobile app. User Authentication: Implement user authentication using the Askbot API endpoints. Allow users to log in to the mobile app using their Askbot credentials, or integrate with OAuth providers like Google or Facebook if supported by Askbot. Displaying Content: Use the API to fetch questions, answers, user profiles, and other relevant content from Askbot. Display this content in a user-friendly format within the mobile app, optimized for smaller screens. Interactivity: Enable users to perform actions such as asking questions, answering questions, commenting, voting, and following topics directly from the mobile app. Ensure these actions are synced with the Askbot platform via API calls. Push Notifications: Implement push notifications to alert users about new activity on their questions or topics of interest within Askbot. Use services like Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) or Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) for this purpose. Testing and Optimization: Thoroughly test the integration to ensure proper functionality across different devices and operating systems. Optimize the mobile app for performance and usability, considering mobile-specific UX/UI guidelines.
