Excited to be chatting about Gemini next week! Sign up and come along 🙌

@mcgrailka Haha you know how it is 😂

@HiThereJoe I was thinking this myself earlier 🙂

@joaobzao yea locally only for now, this kept it super simple for me to be able to ship something. I might add network syncing later, but for now the app supports data import/export only!

@HiThereJoe Nice! Giving it a try Is the data persisted locally only?

I spent some time over the holidays working on an Android app for myself to track collectibles, so I decided to ship it to the play store (it's still in beta mode though!) 🚀 getcubby.co

@akshay81844 thank you! Let me know how you get on :)

@HiThereJoe Loved the screenshot and clean website, going to install it right away

We'll be shipping support for Android 16 soon! Excited to fully support edge-to-edge in our app - how did you plan for / manage adding support for this in your apps? 🤔

@Marochko @buffer can't wait for this one!

Something fun is dropping on @buffer tomorrow! 🚫👻

Let's talk GraphQL error handling! Do you model your errors as data? Or put them in the "errors" array? Or something else? Community member @HiThereJoe is improving the official documentation. Let's write all of this down! github.com/graphql/graphq…

Took a dive into the LargeTopAppBar from the Material 3 package for #JetpackCompose - already have plans for using this in some upcoming changes in the @buffer Android App 🙌 buff.ly/xsdRgRV

This weekend I've been hard at work on my next book, Practical Kotlin Multiplatform. I'm super excited about this one - I love the balance of enforcing consistency while still enabling Native UI and other patterns. Learn more here 👉 practicalkmp.com #KotlinMultiplatform

This week, we hit our all-time-highest ARR at @buffer 🥳 Our previous all-time-high was in February 2020 and following that, we saw it dip. It's been amazing to see the team navigate this and work hard at getting back on track, hitting this new milestone 5 years later!

Catching up on some #GoogleIO videos, really glad to see that the ability to halt the roll-out of fully-live production releases from within the Play Console is coming soon 🙌 youtube.com/watch?v=POUqfD…

Curious about building Android widgets with Jetpack Compose? @hitherejoe has shared how he recently used Glance to add some upcoming Widgets to our Android app. #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose joebirch.co/android/explor…

I just published "Exploring Jetpack Compose: DockedSearchBar" 🔍 joebirch.co/android/explor… #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose #GDE

In Android 16, we'll see the ability to opt-out of edge-to-edge enforcement being removed. This means apps targeting API level 36 will have to support edge-to-edge throughout their app. How is this affecting your app? Do you have a lot of migration work to do? #AndroidDev

Thanks, @AndroidWeekly, for sharing my latest blog post 🙌 #AndroidDev #GDE androidweekly.net
