Android.
Using Jerboa to access lemmy, which so far (for an alpha) seems ok
It's pretty good hey? I've done some Android dev before so spent the weekend making some fixes and improvements for it, and lots of others are doing the same. I figured the better it is to use, the more likely it is that people will hang around after the Reddit implosion. With its current velocity I expect it'll be damn near amazing in a month or so!
Ooo good idea.
I'm an android dev too, though only via csharp so all the APIs have very slightly different names or are invoked as properties rather than methods etc (like "cameraManager.getCameraIds()" would be "cameraManager.CameraIds").
What's the best way to get involved? Just look for open issues on github?
Yeah just take a look here: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa
I'd never used Kotlin or Jetpack Compose before, but I just picked smaller issues to fix that involved copying an existing code pattern or fixing easily repeatable bugs. It was a fun weekend!
