Looking for some beta testers for GlassMate (belgianwaves.com/beta). DM if interested. #googleglass #smartglasses
Haven't been that active anymore lately, and it's likely I will even post less frequently as I have found a clearer horizon. You can find me over here: bsky.app/profile/belgianwave…
UIKit, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, all living happily together in a single IOS app. Guess which framework is my favorite...

Jetpack Lifecycle, ViewModel, DataStore, Room, Navigation, and Paging....what will be the next Jetpack library to support Kotlin Multiplatform?! #KMP
Belgian Waves retweeted
I thought that Google will lose interest in Kotlin Multiplatform after they won in the Oracle's lawsuit. However, the recent announcements of KMP support in ViewModel and Room suggest that I might've been wrong.
Is KMP the future of mobile development?
Giving Compose for iOS a try. Very promising but build/deploy cycle on iOS is currently too long to be practical. Develop on Android and validate on iOS should be feasible
Picked up a #pixelbook for doing some light android development the coming holidays. Nice little, balanced device. Like it alot

I don’t hate Madonna for doing this to herself. I hate that we live in a society where she thinks she has to do this to herself.

Happy 15th Anniversary Android! On November 5th 2007 Google announced something bigger than a single phone, we announced the Android Operating System now serving over 3 billion users making it most popular OS ever.

Twitter is the ad-dependent print newspaper bought out by private equity that now needs to service its debt, and the first order of business is to sell off the real estate, lay off staff, hike subscription costs and hope the core customer base doesn’t notice everything is worse.

Not sure if I publically said this before, but kotlinx.coroutines.* is seriously cool; I don't see any reason whatsoever why anyone would use any other library (such as RxJava) than this for async/reactive programming.

Gave Android 12L a run on my old Pixel C while waiting for the Google tablet scheduled for next year. Very promising, but doesn't go as far as Dex-mode from Samsung. I guess 'full' desktop mode will stay reserved for ChromeOS
Not that of a fan of Samsung, but I definitely like what they did with dex. Hope we'll see something similar on Google's tablet next year

The onboarding experience using KMM has room for improvement (and also why recommend starting off with some sample etc)
But, once you have setup up and running, I do find it really impressive how quickly new functionality can be added to shared code and consumed on iOS & Android

PSA: AndroidX officially went multiplatform on Wednesday.
For now, it only affects a small number of artifacts, but that's just the beginning. 👀 👀 👀
That means we can expect exciting times ahead for Kotlin!

This war only ends when Ukraine wins. Ukraine only wins when it has the right weapons. That’s a problem we can solve.

Patched the streaming clients from @streamz_be and @disneyplus so that can watch at least sd content on my beloved pixel c tablet, #apktool to the rescue
