Hello guys, If you are using coroutines in your Android Projects, this could probably help you https://blog.loop-ideas.com/android-livedata-coroutines-the-next-level-with-map-and-switchmap-extensions-b56a2f2f2ba7

Blog post on everyone's favourite topic of coroutines but this time using assembler 🙄 https://dkandalov.github.io/squasher

This is the third iteration of 'clean architecture' in the Coinverse beta app using Model-View-Intent (MVI), now 100% with Kotlin Flow thanks to the recent StateFlow release! 🌊 I started with the Unidirectional Data Flow (UDF) only using LiveData, then made use of Kotlin Flow in the Repository, and now all-in on Flow. 🏞️ May 2019 - UDF with LiveData 🍂 Nov. 2019 - UDF with LiveData + Kotlin Flow 🏖️ July 2020 - MVI + UDF with 100% Kotlin Flow https://proandroiddev.com/android-model-view-intent-with-kotlin-flow-ca5945316ec

📚 Sample Android Components Architecture on a modular word focused on the scalability, testability and maintainability written in

Kotlin

, following best practices using

Jetpack

. The goal of the project is to demonstrate best practices, provide a set of guidelines, and present modern Android application architecture that is modular, scalable, maintainable and testable. This application may look simple, but it has all of these small details that will set the rock-solid foundation of the larger app suitable for bigger teams and long application lifecycle management. Application is based, apply and strictly complies with each of the following 5 points: • A

single-activity architecture

, using the Navigation component to manage fragment operations. •

Android architecture components

, part of Android Jetpack give to project a robust design, testable and maintainable. • Pattern

Model-View-ViewModel

(MVVM) facilitating separation of development of the graphical user interface. •

S.O.L.I.D

design principles intended to make software designs more understandable, flexible and maintainable. •

Modular app architecture

allows being developed features in isolation, independently from other features. Project link: https://github.com/VMadalin/android-modular-architecture

Finally published the writeup on a pet project I've been playing with for awhile: https://medium.com/@shikasd/composing-in-the-wild-145761ad62c3?source=friends_link&sk=1ea110938835f2ad11c7a2b39e5deac1

Hey 😄  I've created a small test for a product and would appreciate any feedback on it! Long story short: If you subscribe, each day, for the next 3 days, you will get a small, but interesting RxJava2 Puzzler (written in Kotlin) with a detailed explanation. You will either learn something new, or confirm your knowledge. https://mailchi.mp/631bd69d4410/smallengineer-rxjava2puzzlers-free After three days, there is a small survey just so I can gather feedback. Thanks, and tell me what you think!

We are going live from London in 15 minutes: Come and join us 🎉

This is happening 🙂 https://twitter.com/KotlinLondon/status/1289143500710256643?s=20

I've released KVision 3.12.0 - https://github.com/rjaros/kvision. Highlights of this release: - full support for the Micronaut framework with new example projects in the https://github.com/rjaros/kvision-examples repository - upgraded dependencies (Spring Boot 2.3.2, Jooby 2.8.10) As always any feedback is welcomed 🙂

I finally finished up this from a draft I was writing weeks ago. This is slightly opinionated and is basically describing the style I follow in a production app. “Android MVVM pattern with Firebase Firestore” by Yashovardhan Dhanania https://medium.com/@yashovardhan99/android-mvvm-firestore-37c3a8d65404

📈 We (NPM lab at JBR) have just published a major release of Plotly.kt library (0.2.0): https://github.com/mipt-npm/plotly.kt. The release includes full coverage of plotly basic functionality, real-time dynamic data rendering with ktor server, experimental support for jupyter-kotlin and other nice things. The release seminar will be held next Friday (21.08.2020, https://research.jetbrains.org/news/plotlykt-release-announce), see #science or #datascience for details.

New post is out talking about some of the quirks of using Kotlin from Swift: https://benasher.co/kotlin-ios-ergonomics/. My team has been using K/N for a year and half. This covers that majority of the source-level quirks/bumps that we've run into, but it has been a great experience over all!

Last week presentation video for VisionForge development release is finaly uploaded on a JBR channel: . Visionforge is a large kotlin-multiplatform project (with huge JS part) for visualization of scietific data. Currently the main focus is the 3D rendering of particle detectors and events in them. It also could be used for other 3D visualisation tasks (not game-dev probably).

After a lot of work, new release of Multiplatform BigNum library https://github.com/ionspin/kotlin-multiplatform-bignum/releases/tag/0.2.0

Seems noone has posted this yet. Ktor is now compatible with Kotlin 1.4 as well. https://blog.jetbrains.com/ktor/2020/08/18/ktor-1-4-0-now-available/

MVFlow has graduated to 1.0! 🎉 MVFlow is a minimalistic MVI architecture library that does everything you need and nothing more (including leaving you in control). It uses coroutines and flows which make the API a pleasure to use. That’s my first open source library. I’m keen to get feedback! https://pedroql.github.io/mvflow/ website https://github.com/pedroql/mvflow github project

I've released KVision 3.13.0 - https://github.com/rjaros/kvision. Highlights of this release: - Kotlin upgrade to 1.4.0. - Updated other dependencies (Serialization 1.0.0-RC, Coroutines 1.3.9, Ktor 1.4.0, Spring Boot to 2.3.3, jquery-kotlin 0.0.6, mpApt 0.8.7, ReduxKotlin 0.5.5, Gradle 6.6, Dokka 1.4.0-rc) - Jed was replaced with gettext.js library to get smaller bundle size. - All flexbox and grid properties and enums have been moved to the core package. See migration guide for details about required changes in the build configuration. As always any feedback is welcomed 🙂

I have made my multiplatform project MarykDB public. It provides ways of storing, transferring, querying data in a Kotlin way. (See documentation and tests for examples) It can be used on iOS/macOS, JVM/Android and JS. I already use it in a private iOS, Android project and server project. I use it to sync exactly the data needed between clients and the server by http/websockets. The syncing is made easy since all data is stored in a versioned store. The persistence happens in RocksDB for which I created a separate multiplatform library: rocksdb-multiplatform. For cloud redundancy I would like to wrap https://github.com/rockset/rocksdb-cloud. There are no published artifacts yet, but this way I can collect feedback earlier and I can send reproducers for Kotlin 1.4 transition issues. Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you want to know more or even help. At a later stage I will write more to explain more about the project and how to work with it and create an example project. https://github.com/marykdb/maryk

Atrium v0.13.0 is out with a few new assertion functions and other improvements. Thanks to the contributors: https://github.com/robstoll/atrium/releases/tag/v0.13.0
