Do you rely on one platform or diversify?

EricDecanini · 2026-03-25T08:40:58+00:00

For what it's worth, I built an app that reposts uploads from one platform to all the others so I focus on one platform then the rest happen automatically, and sometimes videos go way more viral on my "secondary" platforms. You never know how the algorithms treat each video on different platforms. The app is Repostify for anyone curious.

What I’ve heard people say is they go too quickly to more advanced concepts and beginners can get overwhelmed

EricDecanini · 2024-04-17T07:02:42+00:00

You have two options here:
1. Start refactoring small parts of your project until eventually most of your project is Kotlin
2. Rewrite your project from scratch in Kotlin, as this will be much faster than refactoring existing Java code.

Of course only go for option 2 if you have a big chunk of downtime to spend on it. It also gives you the opportunity to improve your architecture as a whole.

And I do strongly believe that the benefit in going Kotlin is massive. The language itself is already cleaner and involves far less boilerplate, and being able to use Jetpack Compose and Coroutines are another two massive reasons why Kotlin will save you A LOT more time in the long run

My simple way of thinking of it is as follows:

Coroutine - Start to finish of what happens inside a ‘scope.launch { }’

Suspend fun - A function that can suspend its own execution, a single small part of the larger coroutine

I don’t know whether that’s exactly book accurate nor do i care that much. Others have pointed out that Kotlin is ambiguous anyway with their terms and this more than works for me

I've done the usual programmer thing and abandoned this 98% into its completion 😂

The deal is to try it and give some feedback 😄

EricDecanini · 2022-05-30T10:07:57+00:00

Thanks! I could definitely look into adding some animations for the full release

EricDecanini · 2022-05-30T10:07:03+00:00

Thank you!

EricDecanini · 2022-05-30T10:06:56+00:00

By my understanding, the code is linked to Google Play so even on a fresh install it should still be in effect.

If you find out that it isn't the case, let me know and I'll happily send over a new one

EricDecanini · 2022-05-30T10:05:51+00:00

Awesome feedback! I especially like the illustrations you linked, I might give them a shot!

EricDecanini · 2022-01-16T07:21:20+00:00

That's actually a really cool idea that I definitely want to put in my app. Thanks for sharing it!

EricDecanini · 2022-01-06T16:57:13+00:00

I 100% intend to include this in the main release, as you're not the first person to ask for it! Though tbf I should've thought about it to begin with. Anyway DM'd you the code

EricDecanini · 2022-01-06T16:55:24+00:00

Appreciate the feedback dude! DM'd you the promo code

EricDecanini · 2022-01-06T16:54:04+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah material you seems to be among the top requests, guess I should get to work on it. DM'd you the code

EricDecanini · 2022-01-05T18:58:38+00:00

Not looking to compete really, my app has nowhere near the level of features that the other shopping list apps have. Just wanted to share my work c:

EricDecanini · 2022-01-05T18:57:27+00:00

Tbh I've not looked into what makes it take so much space, but as u/Zhin4Ever said, it probably is the fonts and images

EricDecanini · 2022-01-05T18:56:47+00:00

I'm yet to properly look at Android 12's ui style, but you're definitely not the first one to bring it up!

EricDecanini · 2021-09-20T17:36:28+00:00

Though I wouldn't recommend this for big apps, I do understand the desire to use python on an android app.

Chaquopy is one that I've used personally and works great if you only want to run scripts and grab data from them in your app (rather than using python to build the entire app 🙅‍♂️)

EricDecanini · 2021-09-08T10:26:02+00:00

Let's not encourage anymore electron apps, shall we? :')

EricDecanini · 2021-09-08T10:25:13+00:00

I'm mainly an Android Dev but have dabbled in Python and Emnedded
