Question Porting Tachiyomi to PB InkPad 4
I'm looking to buy an InkPad 4 because the size is just right for both reading books and manga. From the limited amount of research I did I came to the conclusion that Tachiyomi isn't available for these devices out of the box.

How feasible is it to fork Tachiyomi and port it to work with PB devices? I got some experience with both C and C++ since I'm enrolled in a software engineering program at a university. Both languages have extensive documentation so I think this won't be an obstacle.

On the other hand I couldn't really find any documentation for developing apps for PB devices which is a huge problem. I could find bits of information about an SDK on this forum, but the big picture of this whole procedure is still blurry.

Any ideas?

There aren't any comprehensive guides as far as I know. You'll have to piece things together yourself from multiple sources.

This would be a good starting point however:

It depends on Tachiyomi features. The Inkview SDK doesn't provide much widgets and other common graphical toolkit stuff. So, be prepared to draw things line by line...

As Neil said, one must learn from other projects sources...

Whatever, developping for pocketbook device is lots of fun!

An orthogonal problem is that Tachiyomi development is discontinued. Are sources still publicly available?
