How-To Geek wrote a great article about swapping Gmail's app for Thunderbird on Android: "It's a free, open-source, privacy-focused app, and it makes email feel like it used to." www.howtogeek.com/i-ditched-gma… Check out Thunderbird for Android! https://sohub.io/npmm#thunderbirdr#opensourcece

🔐 Starting with Kotlin 2.4, the standard library includes an 18-month security support policy. Security fixes will be backported to all active release lines within the support window. 👉 For more keynote highlights: https://kotl.in/rm6hir

I'll be giving a talk about Metro's internals tomorrow at @kotlinconf.com! This'll be an advanced talk that assumes familiarity with Metro, and is a sort of part 2 of my "Navigating Dependency Injection with Metro" talk last year. You can find it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVfm...

Introducing Android Performance Analyzer : The Next Evolution in Profiling for Android android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/05/intr...

Last Friday, we announced a ✨ new default structure ✨ for Kotlin Multiplatform projects. (Nothing like a late Friday afternoon release!) In case you missed that, here’s a quick recap of what’s new! 🧵👇

🤖 I've just open-sourced a new set of skills, covering Kotlin, Compose and Android development. Very early days, but it covers a lot of things which crop up in code review regularly. github.com/chrisbanes/s...

scrcpy 4.0 is out 🚀 Try the new flex display feature (and more): github.com/Genymobile/s...

Our new episode of Office Hours is out! We're chatting with Thunderbird contributor Bogomil about how he got involved with the project, mentorship in the open source community and more. Check out the link to watch to the full episode! youtu.be/xSXJsPIVV60?... #Thunderbird #OpenSource

Our latest Mobile Progress Report is now live on the blog! Notifications on Android? Progress on iOS? 📱 Get the full scoop: blog.thunderbird.net/2026/04/mobil…#Thunderbirdr#Androidi#iOSO#OpenSourcece

Compose Stability Analyzer 0.7.3 introduces the runtime Compoes state tracking. By adding the `TraceRecomposition` annotation to your composable function, you can trace all the parameters and in-body Compose states in the logcat. skydoves.github.io/compose-stab...

Someone just shared, out of the blue, my project on another social media! That is the first time it ever happened and I was so happy to see that! Sometimes I wonder if I should ever keep working on it, if ever people are using it or not. It felt heartwarming seeing that, tbh!

Metro is so good! If you haven't tried yet, I strongly suggest you to!! I wish IntelliJ allowed non-bundled K2 compiler plugins to contribute their FIR checkers to the IDE so we could see diagnostics in real-time. Perhaps a Metro IntelliJ plugin could bridge the gap until then

I've just released the website for CLI/Gradle Plugin code, built using KMP! It also features a playground editor where you can convert your SVGs without needing to download anything! And the best is that everything runs locally on your browser! svgtocompose.tonholo.dev #AndroidDev #KMP

Why Compose HotSwan 🦢 It explains how Compose HotSwan brings true Hot Reload to Android, avoiding rebuilds and app restarts. It enables instant UI updates on a running app while preserving state, improving development speed. hotswan.dev/docs/how-it-...

Another tweak.

One of the biggest gems of Compose Hot Reload is the ability to simulate animation variations directly on real Android devices. hotswan.dev/docs/support...

We have a shiny new roadmap site, and an equally shiny new blog post to tell our community all about it: #Thunderbird #OpenSource blog.thunderbird.net/2026/03/intro…

Thundercast is back! Our hosts are steering us through the roadmaps for the desktop and mobile clients. Tune in for all the information on what's coming next, and minimal backseat driving. #Thunderbird #ThunderCast #OpenSource share.transistor.fm/s/4db3895e

I can't believe that I will attend KotlinConf this year 😱

I NEED THIS SO MUCH!

Just published "Scoping ViewModels in Compose". marcellogalhardo.dev/posts/scopin... #AndroidDev #Kotlin #KMP #CMP

Today I’m open-sourcing Dejavu! Testing UI performance in Jetpack Compose is frustrating. We profile and watch tools, yet regressions still creep in. I built Dejavu to make recomposition behavior something you can actually test.

Everything's coming up roses in Pasadena for @socallinuxexpo.bsky.social! Come visit us in the Expo Hall at booth 221 to chat with our team, learn what we're up to, and grab some stickers from: 14:00-18:00 Today 10:00-18:00 Saturday 10:00-14:00 Sunday #Thunderbird #SCaLE23x

We're excited to shine a light on Michaela Martin, the design artist behind our appeal illustrations. We chat about her background, her process, and how Roc and his world went from first sketches to final drafts. 🎨 #Thunderbird #Illustration blog.thunderbird.net/2026/03/desi...

🎙️Check out the new @fragmentedpodcast.com episode on subagents! They can be a huge unlock once you understand how it all works and you can get real benefits without having to a swarm them. @kau.sh and I built an RTS mental model for how they work (yes, we did that). Check it out!

new episode is out! spot the easter 🥚? recent models have shown massive improvement owing to clever use of "modes" and subagent dispatch. it really clicked for me after chatting with @iurysouza.dev listen to improve your fundamentals! (not just tactics).

And our Mobile Progress Report provides an early look into how development on Android AND iOS (!) will take shape over the coming year. #Thunderbird #Android #iOS #OpenSource blog.thunderbird.net/2026/02/mobi...

Heading to CHAOSSCon at @fosdem.org? Be sure to check out @linuxflower.bsky.social and Wayne Mery's Lunch and Learn on Thursday Jan 29 at 13:00 on how we're using community metrics and how we can improve! #Thunderbird #OpenSource #Community chaoss.community/chaosscon-20...

Heads up it looks like Sonatype is starting to enforce stricter throttling on Maven Central. If you see 429/403 errors from your runneres, you're not alone. github.com/actions/runn... www.sonatype.com/blog/maven-c...

As I need to support IntelliJ IDEA in a project I work on, I always try to find what is the latest AGP version compatible with IntelliJ IDEA, but it is very difficult to find information about it.

Using the Default Hierarchy Template in KMP? You probably shouldn't 👀 It creates intermediate source sets you might not need — with real build cost. ⚠️ New article on the hidden costs and when to use a custom hierarchy instead 👇 dev.to/rsicarelli/t...

Anyone wants to make a cool OSS contribution to the Kotlin ecosystem? Integrate the Amper dependency resolver in Kotlin scripts and solve KT-42775, make scripting easier for everyone and learn about Gradle metadata at the same time. youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-427...

I've upgraded to the last @androidstudio.bsky.social stable version and suddenly started to experience a few issues. The most annoying is the debugger randomly throwing Stack Overflow. If you are experiencing the same, please consider voting for this issue: issuetracker.google.com/issues/45229...

I turned a leak investigation into a post on the Block eng blog to share a method that works well! It's a bit long... I had to show how to encode code knowledge to automate leak investigations, and dig even deeper with YourKit Java Profiler. engineering.block.xyz/blog/the-lea... #AndroidDev

Working on a plugin that provides real-time stability analysis for Jetpack Compose functions in Android Studio.

If you're a senior+ developer and your GitHub looks like this.... I assume you have some mixture of positive work life balance, a spouse and children, and hobbies outside of coding. What I don't assume is anything about your ability to write great software.

Your GitHub history can look like this, and it’s ok. If you know you can do a job, apply. I've met so many great devs that weren't active on GitHub publicly. We need to understand that not everybody prioritizes side projects, for many reasons. And that does not invalidate them for the job, at

Open-sourced my Android-in-VS-Code experiment. A Gradle plugin that generates workspace files for Kotlin LSP. Many things don't work, but some do 😅 github.com/desugar-64/k... #AndroidDev #VSCode

There's no good reason why people distributing apps outside the Play Store should need to provide their personal data to Google. This is just taking Android into the horrible world of dev accounts and notarization that Apple enforces.

I was excited to upgrade a project I work to Kotlin 2.2.0 as it turns when-guards stable and I would be able to remove the annoying warning: "This build uses unsafe internal compiler arguments: --XXLanguage:+WhenGuards" Android Studio: Nope.
