Description

Hello POGO fans,

Last year I worked on this emulator for a few months. I started the project immediately after all the bots stopped working (u remember?:p). It was one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on, especially the emulator's API which allows to place pokestops, gyms and spawns in realtime on google maps.

The project is abandoned because of Niantic's drastic client changes for version > 0.35. The client source and networking is hard to decrypt as well as it's very tricky to bypass SafetyNet. Also there were crowds of people intentionally claiming authorship, selling the source and so on. You can thank these people too :-)

**TDLR;** I'd like to ask here if there is a interest in reading an article about the creation of this project - about the hard parts and the fun parts with a technical view on it. Submit a vote by giving a 👍
