## What it is
GeekNews is an Android reading app for programmers that aggregates content from Zhihu Daily, WeChat news, Gank.io, Juejin, and V2EX in a Material Design interface. It is built as a learning project demonstrating mainstream Android architecture patterns including MVP, RxJava2, Retrofit, Dagger2, Realm, and Glide.

## Use cases
- read tech news from zhihu and juejin in one android app
- learn mvp architecture with rxjava2 and dagger2 on android
- browse v2ex and gank.io on my phone
- study a real-world android app using retrofit and realm
- find an open-source material design news reader for android

## When to choose
- you want to study how MVP, RxJava2, Retrofit, Dagger2, and Realm fit together in a complete Android app
- you want a Material Design reading app for Chinese tech news sources like Zhihu Daily and V2EX

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained app - the last release was in 2018 and several APIs it relies on may no longer work
- you want a production news reader with active support and updates
- you need a modern architecture like MVVM, MVI, or Jetpack Compose
