I don't do much, but I do it regularly. I make little progress, but it's progress every day. If any action is present, that means I'm on the right path to my target.
What I did:
I spent an hour working on the filter component for articles. I worked only on the UI part. I configured the chips, added colors, and localization. It looks terrible. It's very complicated for me to implement a nice UI without a design. Correct theming is another complicated aspect for me. On the other hand, it's a good opportunity for growth: working with challenges that push you.
The next hour, I spent investigating how to save bookmarks. I learned the API for that and found a suitable call for it. I didn't find it in documentation, I found it by inspecting the code of the main page. It looks like the documentation isn't complete, and some important details are omitted. So, I have to be more careful about that.
Another question is authentication. The login process with Google or other providers isn't described. Or maybe the only way to do that is by just using an API key that's manually generated in a web form. It's a big question. I think it's the main question that's been bothering me all this time.
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.
- Fix comment element
- Implementation of WebView to display stub content
- Theme configuration for Lottie animation
