This time next week, I'll be co-speaking at mDevCamp in Prague with Sebastian Aigner 📡, building a 100% Kotlin app for three platforms, in a collaborative live demo, from scratch. Excited for this one!

The new YouTube player layout on the web is a complete abomination.

I barely have a safe pixel to click anymore when I want to remove focus from something on the page. I'll either start the video, navigate away completely, or scroll down to the duplicated (??!) description.

This week is all about preparing talks for me.

Next week, I'm giving a joint talk with Sebastian Aigner 📡 at mDevCamp in Prague, and then two talks at Android Makers by droidcon 2024 in Paris!

Add to that some progress on my KotlinConf talk, and reviewing KotlinConf talks of others...

Busy busy.

Another interesting Android talk hitting the #AMxDC24 stage!

Márton Braun @[email protected] will show how easy it is to use #Git & perform version control tasks in general within #AndroidStudio . No third-party tools required! 📣

You can also find the details of the second talk on the agenda now: Balázs Gerlei will explain the security implications of using WebViews in Android apps, with some exciting real-world demos!

📢 The schedule for KotlinConf'24 is live! 🎉
If you can’t join in person, catch all the action remotely. All sessions will be streamed on our YouTube channel, with livestream links made available two weeks before the event. Stay tuned!

Looking forward to hanging out with Márton Braun @[email protected] at Android Makers by droidcon 2024 and talking about all things #KMP !

Does anyone have a good resource that explains how ViewModels scoped to nav graph entries work, when exactly they're cleared, etc.?

I looked at a lot of things and they're all kind of bad.

The release notes here are seriously impressive. Check it out now! 👇

If you're in town, join us for our next Android Budapest meetup next week!

If you've missed it until now, it's a great time to catch it! A great talk on KMP.

Well, add that one to my list of subscriptions!

I finally got around to updating my article on opt-in annotations, to remove the bits about having to opt-in for opt-in, and to convert the build snippets to Kotlin with the latest APIs.
