This is a compose app that I'm currently making for android devices. Feedback and criticism is welcome!
Some notes:
- Some icons are placeholders, e.g. "upvote" and "downvote" are upload and download rn.
- Some of the padding and card-style is inconsistent.
- Some "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).
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.

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,

Just for personal fulfilment and ego more than anything. Besides, I’m not sure I’m proficient enough in their stack to contribute without getting in the way lmao.
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!

They just want to make their own without worrying about it actually working.
That is answered in the original post, the author is just doing this for fun and learning. :)
