Overview

The main goal of GitReads is to improve the reading and viewing experience for source code on mobile devices. It provides a mobile-native and intuitive way of reading code and navigating through different code files. It also aims to enhance that experience with features with developer-friendly features. These include file tabination, definition lookups and syntax highlighting support.

GitReads also aims to address many shortcomings of a small mobile phone screen, such as being unable to grok long lines of code. We plan to use some innovative solutions such as per-line horizontal scrolling and the auto-minification of long variable names to address these issues.
