I mostly worked on this application on weekends and currently in the process to make it more professional looking so that I can publish it on playstore.</p> <h2> Link to Code </h2> <p>The app is currently in development so it might undergo a lot of changes but if you are interested to contribute you can reach out to me. <br> </p> <div class="ltag-github-readme-tag"> <div class="readme-overview"> <h2> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--566lAguM--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev.to/assets/github-logo-5a155e1f9a670af7944dd5e12375bc76ed542ea80224905ecaf878b9157cdefc.svg" alt="GitHub logo"> <a href="https://github.com/ritwikshanker"> ritwikshanker </a> / <a href="https://github.com/ritwikshanker/GoCoronaGo"> GoCoronaGo </a> </h2> <h3> An android coronavirus Tracker </h3> </div> </div> <h2> How I built it </h2> <p>So I have been interning at a Company this summer where I work as a Software Development Intern. So working on this personal project of mine was a big task for me as I had to manage company work and personal work, cooking, cleaning and god knows what all this lockdown has taught me to do. I had never worked on a full android app on my own and I dreamed of making this app open source one day so spaghetti code was not an option. I built this application using MVVM architecture with full code written in Kotlin and support from API Level 19 i.e. Android 4.4. It is still in very early stages so a lot of major changes have to be done but so far it has been a great learning experience. I have a lot of things in mind which I am currently working on and would love to hear new ideas and features to implement.</p> <h2> Additional Thoughts </h2> <p>Do check my repo and if you like my work don't forget to star the repo and you can always ping me if you are interested to contribute.</p> octograd2020
