On Tuesday night, you may have noticed something a little different on Bluesky. Here's a peek behind the scenes of how the election feed came together. Endlessly grateful for this collaboration with @wnyc.org/@gothamist.com & @bsky.app!

Want to rearrange your feeds on Heron? Just drag and drop them into the order you want!

Just published "NavigationEvent Info". marcellogalhardo.dev/posts/naviga... #AndroidDev #Kotlin #KMP #CMP

Getting ready for #TheAndroidShow at #dcldn25

play.google.com/store/apps/d... Heron by @tunji.dev looks great for a bsky app, it's what I'd use if I had an android phone

How have folks who've built third party bluesky clients implemented push notifications? There's this xrpc endpoint, but I'm not sure how to use it: https://docs.bsky.app/docs/api/app-bsky-notification-register-push

It seems bluesky made breaking changes to their response for their oauth authorization server; the introspection_endpoint in the response json has been removed. Heron is going to be broken on sign in and refresh token flows till a new version of the app can be approved 😞

The Android team is diving into what's new in Android development to help you build excellent apps across devices. Tune into The Android Show on October 30 to learn more → goo.gle/tas-oct25

Oh btw, I'm co-hosting the Android show this year! Tune in on October 30th for all the latest news in the Android world! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyt_...

Heron is now available to everyone on the play store as a public beta!

When uploading videos, bluesky recommends uploading to the video service at video.bsky.app: docs.bsky.app/docs/tutoria... How does this work with custom PDSes? Is the best bet there to just upload the video as a regular blob, and wait for it to be hydrated later?

Google Play approve my app pls 🥹

Soon 👀

Is it just me or are bluesky oauth tokens super finicky when they have to be refreshed?

Oh dang while I'm giving shoutouts @graze.social just also launched a banger new website, well done @devingaffney.com www.graze.social

Heron looks amazing! Can't wait to see it out in the wild, great work @tunji.dev!

We're excited to share the new Graze! Completely redesigned look, same powerful tooling. Check it out at graze.social ✨

I'm excited to announce something I've been building, an open source atproto client heron.tunji.dev! Its currently available in beta on Google Play for Android devices. Please DM @heron.tunji.dev if you'd like early access. It will be released to all Android users in the next few weeks!

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

Anyone got tips for refreshing bluesky oauth tokens? The tokens from oauth are valid for an hour. Once they expire, calls to refresh fail with the error "claim timestamp check failed". I can't find much in the way of docs for this

today in bsky bikeshedding: I'm anti higher post limits—I think it's nice for longform & shortform to not bleed into each other! brevity is good; I challenge anyone to give me 500 chars that couldn't be 300 I *am* in favor of bsky supporting embeds to other apps; bsky doesn't have to do it all!

Today's #JetpackReleaseNotes includes Camera and Camera ViewFinder 1.5.0, Room 2.8.0, Hilt 1.3.0, plus bug fixes in Compose 1.9.1, Navigation 2.9.4, and Navigation3 1.0.0-alpha09. developer.android.com/jetpack/andr...

Just published my first blog post: recreating Liquid Glass in the browser. It’s a deep dive into refraction math, SVG filters, and some CSS. Full write-up with demos here: kube.io/blog/liquid-... (Works fully in Chrome, basics + interactive visuals in Safari.) #LiquidGlass #Apple #CSS #UI

Is there a list of alternative bsky pds implementations? I'm working on Oauth for my 3P app and it'd be nice to have "sign in with x" buttons where x isn't just bsky.

My #shipaton project is simple. Just recreating Minesweeper, one of my top 3 games of all time... ... but in as many delightful, bonkers and jaw-dropping themes as I can make. #buildinpublic #JetpackCompose

This is so salient. I want to build a native app for publishing longform content on atproto. I first started working with whtwnd.com and its lexicon, but it seems unmaintained. Commiting to that makes it hard to interop with other longform lexicons like leaflet.

Earlier today, @laurenshof.online mentioned how apps that should interoperate aren't because they're using different lexicons. It's a topic that's been bothering me for a while, so I used the opportunity to brain-dump into a @leaflet.pub post, and then I ended up giving myself some homework.

We launched the Androidify app on Google Play! Download it now, and create your very own custom Android bot ❤️ I've had loads of fun creating and testing the app - now you can too! play.google.com/store/apps/d... #Androidify

Love seeing this! Great example of what's possible with the NavigationEvent APIs. If you get a chance to try them out, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the APls. #AndroidDev #Kotlin

I wrote something small to celebrate an entire decade since my first blog post. So much of my life has changed since then, and I still have so many ideas for more I can do, but it's nice to just sit and reflect on ten years. androidessence.com/reflecting-o...

There's two articles about nav3 this issue, check them out!

I've been experimenting a lot with the new navigation events library and navigation 3, and wrote about 3 unique animations and transitions you can create with them: www.tunjid.com/articles/3-u...

Getting ready for an alpha launch, but in the meantime, here's some UI progress! I try to maximize the amount of screen estate allocated to content when scrolling.

@popfeed.social hi hi! Is the popfeed lexicon public? I'm building an open source app for generally consuming a bunch of at proto lexicon and I really like the lexicon popfeed has!

The recording from my talk on how to handle configuration changes in Compose at #dcnyc25 is out! Hopefully this helps explain what android:configChanges is responsible for in #AndroidDev and why it's important to know what promises you make when setting it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5-9...

Working on a blog post for 3 unique predictive back animations you can create with the navigation events library 😊 Slide to pop Sticky shared elements resize to pop Drag to pop

ICYMI #JetpackCompose finally has a proper box shadow API as of 1.9.0-beta01. Now we can have nice things like this web demo:

SVG filters provide a basic lighting system you can sync with a little JavaScript and use in your web apps 💡 ... not as powerful as MacOS implementation but pretty cool

This is a v good article and I've seen it at both Google and Airbnb. At Airbnb the distinction is between foundation teams and product teams. I'm on the media foundation team for example, and my well defined eng problem is make the fastest image/video components.

Added drag and drop to manage feeds on Heron

🚨 Droidcon NYC is next week! Very excited to be revealing all the secrets under Jetpack Compose's hood. #droidcon #dcnyc25 nyc.droidcon.com/speakers/andrew-bailey

You've asked for this... and now Compose 1.9 alpha introduces two new modifiers 👀 Modifier.innerShadow() and Modifier.dropShadow() Allowing you to more closely align your designs to your Figma specs, unlocking fun effects like Neumorphic type UIs 😍 github.com/riggaroo/com...

Mildly intrigued, but there's so much motion it makes me dizzy. Wonder if there's a way to make the liquid glass semi opaque too.

🚨 It’s here! The Mobile System Design Interview book is officially out! 📘✨ Now available on Amazon worldwide. Built for mobile engineers prepping for interviews, tech leads sharpening architecture skills, or industry leaders curious about mobile internals.

Curious what Apples new design will be after WWDC, especially how it'll contrast with material expressive.

didja see Seba’s thoughts — bsky.app/profile/sdw....

Have you ever watched a @sinasamaki.com video? They’re incredibly well-crafted, full of meaningful motion and creative ideas... and we’ll chat with the man himself this Wednesday to find out how they come together! Spoiler: it’s fascinating stuff that you’re very familiar with ;)

There's someone running a script against my blog that keeps liking all my articles and inflating the like count. I first limited the maximum likes that can be set at a time, then I started rate limiting by IP. Though at this point, I'm wondering, why do this? I'm just a guy 😭
