As is often happens, I found a solution the next day after a good night's sleep. It's not the solution I expected, but It's a reasonable option for a temporary fix. Maybe I increased my technical debt, but I removed the blocker.
What I did:
Today, I continued to work on the bookmark I wrote about earlier. I fixed the problem with repeat animation when the bookmark reappeared on the screen. I also added a haptic effect on press, but I couldn't test it on a real device due to connection issues. Additionally, I'm trying to find a solution for changing the colors of the Lottie animation to support different themes. Lottie animations support that through dynamic properties. If I understand correctly, I should manipulate some variables in the JSON file by replacing one value with another. It doesn't look complicated If the file is well-organized and has clear naming for components. The icon I grabbed for free from the Lottie website looks obfuscation, and it's very complicated to understand what is going on. I added a TODO for future investigation, as it could take a lot of time.
I created a GitHub project for storing all my TODOs and upcoming tasks. I believe, it's a necessary step if I want to engage people to contribute to this project. I think it's the simplest way to track tasks and stay on the platform, with the ability to track progress and keep reference on the code.
What I will do:
- Add Detekt(a static code analysis tool) to the project.
- Update README file with description of project.
- Create a GitHub project to manage the tasks for future collaboration.
If you want to join the project, just leave a comment here, or write a message in LinkedIn.
