Day 4. ArticleItem

Work in progress. Today I spent just over an hour on Dev.to client. I wanted to do more, but I didn't have much time. 

What I did:

I worked on UI today.  I created the base structure for the ArticleItem view.  I started working on displaying avatars, for that, I added the Coil dependency for loading images. Since we cannot use preview for composable function in shared module, I just created a preview composable function in Android module to be able to see preview. It feels like a dit of hack. 

Also, I looked into how to implement pagination for articles, but an existing standard solution isn't available for KMM. There is a third-party solution, but I don't want to add new a dependency, maybe I'll try to implement my own solution. 

Progress on iOS and Android

What I will do:

  • Implement ArticleItem view.
  • Added day/night theme support.
  • 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.

What help I'm looking for:

Designer (create design of application in Figma)
Android/KMM developer
Any other help related to the project.

My timeline:

Day 1. Deep breath and dive
Day 2. Networking layer.
Day 3. Loading of articles.

See you tomorrow.
