Seeing him at conferences was a highlight. He was a wonderful person & a great community figure

May he rest in peace 💚

Jetpack Navigation 3 is stable News and insights on the Android platform, developer tools, and events.

Jetpack Navigation 3 is stable! 🎉🎉🎉

See you at @droidcon.bsky.social London (I hope) 💪

I'm not saying you should skip my talk to go to his, but I will be speaking at 1.5x speed to catch the last 20 mins of his talk 😂😉

✨ New article on how to create futuristic, cyberpunk glitch effects that's overused in sci-fi movies, right in #JetpackCompose

This approach uses regular canvas functions, so no need to dip into shader code... yet.

#ComposeMultiplatform #AndroidDev

Reminder that Compose Multiplatform (www.jetbrains.com/compose-mult...) is Stable on iOS, Android and Desktop....and now in Beta for Web.

I never thought AI and the terminal would mix, but it's definitely helped improve so much of my workflow 🚀

Highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already!
