A gitter client for android with added functionality using existing gitter API
Idea
The current app (gitter android app) is not opensource and is widely used by open source organizations, hence this will come handy.
Gitter provides access to it’s API. See the documentation at: https://developer.gitter.im/docs/ Currently Gitter provides it free of cost and doesnot seem to have limitations. Note: The api is in beta state.
