🪿📱Introducing Goose Mobile

An exciting new experimental project in the goose ecosystem!

Goose Mobile is an open agent that runs directly on your Android device, designed to maximize automation of your everyday tasks.

GitHub - block/trailblaze: AI-driven mobile testing framework. AI-driven mobile testing framework. Contribute to block/trailblaze development by creating an account on GitHub.

Trailblaze got some new updates today! There's an official yaml spec defined in the trailblaze-yaml module. The examples will be updated by the end of this week.

There's also new memory tools available so the agent can remember screen state for later assertions.

Remember the marble diagrams used to explain RxJava?

My brilliant colleague Kostya 🧙‍♂️ has made an interactive explainer for Kotlin Flows to match!

Banner for the droidcon Lisbon talk by Egor Andreevich titled "Communicating Effectively as an Engineer"

Super excited to be speaking at droidcon Lisbon this year, and it's a topic I've wanted to explore in more depth for a long time. See you there!

Droidcon Toronto used to be really awesome, but I believe it didn't restart after the pandemic?

Retweet if you agree

You can now watch the recordings from KotlinConf on the website - and they're also in the app, in case you quickly wanna find the recordings of sessions that you've bookmarked earlier!

Snapped this last year in Vilnius. I believe these are Soviet? Still going strong!

I'll give it a shot and compare the experience with Raindrop!

Raindrop.io — All in One Bookmark Manager For your inspiration, read later, media and stuff

I'm trying out app.raindrop.io! It doesn't look like it has an offline mode similar to Pocket, but it's as easy to save links to articles I want to read, and I really like the UI so far.

I'm really sad that Pocket is shutting down, I've been using it for many years to track my technical reading. Can anyone recommend any similar alternatives? Thanks!

A pattern is only useful until it gets in your way.

Over the years I’ve seen way too many devs defending ideas only because they were written in a book.

Be open minded.

Detailed diagram of Android Rendering, going from UI definition all the way to the display, with drawings of each stage

💥 I did an explainer about how Android rendering works!

This is part of a series on rendering, I’ll be showing how each platform renders so that people can learn and compare/contrast

I came across these Android Quick Guides in the official documentation developer.android.com/quick-guides.

They're supposed to be very practical and only take a handful of minutes to be used.

Found some interesting ones. I'll write them down in the thread 👇

I really love my Fitbit tracker, can easily hit my hourly steps goal by washing a few dishes!

This is so important! Lately, when working with less familiar stuff, I've been pushing myself to discover a fast enough feedback loop before I make changes. E.g. tweaking CI shell scripts: easy to just push changes and let CI run them, but far too slow. Running scripts locally is so much faster!
