Description
Our apps have, all of them, an about page. Most of them are:
* Ugly
* Incomplete
* Incoherent (not the same approach if you compare apps)
* Unclear about the trademark
This concerns:
* Kiwix Apple
* Kiwix Desktop
* Kiwix Android
* Kiwix JS
* Kiwix Server
This issue is about creatin a common approach to improve them.
A good about should:
* Give the name of the app, the version, the license
* Give links (at least one) to the software project (on GitHub to give easy and clear access to changelog, releases, authors, bug reports).
* Explaining purpose of the software in a few sentences (maximum)
* Explaining the vision of Kiwix in a few sentences (maximum)
* Push the visual(s) of Kiwix (app): at least with the logo
* List all our dependencies (with license and link to the original project)
We should take in account our branded apps (see https://github.com/kiwix/overview/issues/139 and have a strategy to propose a slighly different version in there case). While extend this part later.
We should have a template design for these page. Once made, we will implement it in each app.
This issue does not tackle the very similar, but different, challenge of the about for scrapers.
