Happy that the stars aligned perfectly for me: I used Navigation3 since their alpha releases to build new features that I pushed to production two weeks ago, right on time with the final bug fixes before stable. I'm very happy with its simplicity and flexibility compared to Navigation2.

Jetpack Navigation 3 is stable! πππ
Leaning into Jetpack Compose and the idea of combining smaller building blocks together really helped make Nav3 a much more flexible library that made it a joy to work on and hopefully for you to use as well!

Cash Android has recently switched to Metro, a new, fast dependency injection framework built for K2. That was a fun project and we're really happy with the results! Sharing details on how we approached the migration to help teams adopt Metro: code.cash.app/cash-android...

LLMs are unable to summarize because they don't understand the content or the context, they're only able to produce arbitrary shorter text.
Je me demande souvent si Alexandre croit vraiment aux conneries qu'il raconte sur l'IA. En tous cas depuis que les mΓ©dia lui ont donnΓ© la parole, il n'a pas envie de la rendre.

I'm happy to share that I published a new open-source library, Compose Stability Analyzer!
This is a plugin that provides real-time stability analysis for Jetpack Compose functions in Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

I had a similar issue when rendering a bottom sheet in a Navigation3 OverlayScene.
Basically you have to launch a coroutine driving the closing animation, and only at the end of the animation you trigger a callback to pop the back stack.
