PushOCCRP is an ecosystem for building mobile apps for media organizations, activists, and civil societies. It includes plugins for CMSs like WordPress and Joomla that adjust content for mobile, a backend that delivers notifications and analytics, and mobile clients for Android and iOS. The system is already in use by partners in Serbia, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Azerbaijan and is being expanded to more organizations. The open source project is maintained by two developers and seeks more organizations to deploy and improve it.

CMS Plugin
● Talks to the CMS, reads all the content published, and adjusts it for the later
stage (by converting it to JSON)
● Two “mainstream” CMS supported: WordPress and Joomla!
● Creating CMS plugins as needed.

Push-Backend
● Essentially a pretty basic web app.
● Reads the output from the browser plugin.
● Forwards the output down to the users who have installed your app.
● Allows some extra handy features like notifications and analytics.

11. 11
Mobile apps
● Two clients:
● Android
● iOS
● Fetches the content from Push-Backend and shows it to your readers.
● Multilingual out-of-the-box, allowing you to show different content in different
languages.
