Feedback and criticism is welcome and encouraged!
This is a small jetpack compose app that I'm currently making for android devices to browse... federated link agregators (Lemmy, kbin etc.).
I promise I'm not just bandwagon-ing. However, I thought that the current situation could make for a good excuse to learn android development/mobile design (something I've never actually done before).
Some notes:
- This application will be open source. I think it's just a bit too early to share it right now. [^1]
- Some icons are placeholders, e.g. "upvote" and "downvote" are upload and download at the minute.
- Some of the padding and card-style is inconsistent in the mockups I've shared here.
- There are quite a few "language-choice" issues. Most notably the vague term "Mods" on the profile page (this refers to the communities the profile moderates). I plan to adjust this through development (and as the mainstream fediverse establishes itself).
- I'm doing this for selfish reasons like "fun" and "education", so there aren't any guarantees for a fully working... anything...
- If I was to do this for altruistic reasons, I'd contribute to Jerboa which seems to be undergoing a lot of development from what I can tell on GitHub,
[^1]: If you're on the tildeverse, I've already open-sourced it to tildegit. I'm also tracking my progress over there: https://tildegit.org/delph.seiji/lemulink.

From the OP:
They just want to make their own without worrying about it actually working.

I too am learning Compose! My experience is just messing around with python for a year so Ive got a lot to learn. Can you suggest resources that could be helpful for a self learner? I'm currently going through google codelabs. Maybe i can contribute to your project when im skilled up!
