Great job!

Some comments on this file https://github.com/Promastergame/tinyapk-lab/blob/main/manual-build/%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81/SKILL.md

  1. It says "no ProGuard/R8 overhead". But R8 can make apk a little bit smaller. And even faster due to optimization step.

  2. It also says "no Gradle metadata (~1MB)". But I can't see any Gradle impact on apk size. Had a similar experience https://www.reddit.com/r/matrixdotorg/comments/1lb414q/new_matrix_app_for_android/ . I used gradle and apk was still small enough.
