Day 30. Old code

#android #100daysofcode #kotlin #mobile

I saw some code that was relevant several years ago, but I'm not sure if I can run it now. A lot of things have happened since then. Perhaps our current code will look just as outdated in a decade.

What I did:

I often think about displaying text with web content for comments and articles. I know of an open-source application that has the same functionality. It is OpenHub, a GitHub client that was popular before the release of the official app, after which it lost popularity. I found an interesting screen that was exactly what I was looking for. It was a library RichText. Unfortunately, It hasn't been supported for several years. I started searching on Google again and found an interesting solution with a lot of stars. Cmpose-markdown has the functionality I was looking for. However, it doesn't support KMM, I should find solution for iOS separately. I quickly added rthe equired dependencies and checked how it looks for comments on an item. It looks good, and it has customization options and supports dark mode.

Additionally, I added a Stub composable to display on screens that aren't ready yet. I used a Lottie animation for this, and I'm planning to use it instead of a WebView.
