Installation

Method 1: GitHub (Recommended)

You can directly download the latest release of the .apk file from the releases page. If you are not sure about which .apk file you should download then just download the one named snow.apk from the latest release.

Method 2: Build from Source

Prerequisites

You need to have the following installed before proceeding:

Please ensure that git and flutter are properly setup and working on your machine before proceeding.

Instructions

Clone this repository recusrsively because there are some submodule dependencies. You can do that by typing the following in your terminal (on Linux, macOS), or in Powershell (on Windows):

git clone --recursive https://www.github.com/sahej-dev/snow.git

⚠️ Warning: Do NOT forget to include the --recursive flag, because without it you would not have all the dependencies required by Snow. This is because some dependencies are git submodules.

Then change the working directory to the newly created snow directory by typing:

cd snow

Now you can build the apk by typing

flutter build apk --release

You can safely ignore the big wall of red text as long as it says "Running Gradle task 'assembleRelease'...". Finally it should say "✓ Built build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk (46.0MB)".

Navigate to the above mentioned directory using your file explorer, and transfer app-release.apk to your Android device. If you are unable to locate app-release.apk then type the following in your terminal after it is done with the previous step:

cp ./build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk ~/Desktop

Now you should be able to find the app-release.apk on your desktop.

Support

If you have run into an issue while using the app then try clearing the app cache and data. If that does not solve the problem then feel free to report it on the issues page. Reported bugs tend to be quashed sooner.

Development

Roadmap

The following features, in no particular order, are planned to be added to Snow:

  • Ability to sort contests
  • Custom accent color chooser (overwriting wallpaper accent color)
  • Custom notification timings chooser

Contributing

You are welcome to contribute to Snow. If you are a developer familiar with Flutter then feel free to submit a pull request (PR) for any of the open issues. You can even create an issue for a feature in the roadmap, if it does not have one already, and then submit a PR for the same.

If you are not familiar with Flutter, you can still contribute by opening new issues for bug reports, feature requests, and/or enhancements that you would like to as a user.

If you are not a programmer but woule like to support Snow you can do that:

  • By leaving a star on the repository
  • By telling your friends about Snow

Please read CONTRIBUTING.md before making a contribution.

Background

Snow was originally a Discord bot that me and a friend made during online university in 2020, which supported only two platforms: CodeChef and Codeforces. Later it evolved into a, now discontinued, mobile app (now called Snow Classic). Snow Classic had a static and hardcoded light theme, used provider (in a very bad way) to manage state, and notifications did not work on my OnePlus device but worked flawlessly on a friend's Samsung. Being very new to app development at the time, Snow Classic of course turned out to have very bad architecture (if it had one at all). It worked but changing, adding anything was a pain. So I began a rewrite of the app, and this is what we have.
