Support downloading name list from custom server

[renaudguerin]

Hey there,

Baby due in a couple of weeks, very timely discovery of your great looking app on HN 🙂 Well, probably a bit too late for us I guess as we can't quite use it as is : we're not in the US and I would need a custom names list.

I've taken a look at the built-in db and although I haven't quite figured out what the decade related fields are for, it sounds easy enough to make a custom one.

Deploying it to the phones is the challenging part (to me at least) : I'm not an iOS dev but I suppose the only way is to build the project in XCode and deploy it manually both to my wife's iPhone and mine, even without a developer certificate ?

But since you already support using a custom server, it would be so much easier if the db could just be downloaded from there ! How much work do you think it would be to add that route server-side + maybe a toggle in the app to override the built-in db with a downloaded one ?

I suppose the iTunes/Finder file transfer method would be fine too, but I'm guessing a bit more work to add to the app ?

Thanks !
