We launched the Androidify app on Google Play!

Download it now, and create your very own custom Android bot ❤️

I've had loads of fun creating and testing the app - now you can too!

Did you know... Android Studio has introduced resizable previews for Compose previews? Allowing you to test your layouts across the spectrum of device sizes easily inside Android Studio. 💻

This animation bugs me so much 😂 why is there a background on the X as part of it... Just remove the background and it'd be 100 times better... Someone at @itvx.com please save us.

Compose 1.9 just hit beta01 & another exciting feature landing is a way to reliably determine if something is visible on screen & a way to get notified of visibility changes 📣

💅 New modifiers are entering the chat in this space: Modifier.onFirstVisible() & Modifier.onVisibilityChanged().

Google I/O 2025 was a blast and getting to help put together the Androidify booth was really such a highlight. If you want to learn more about how the #Androidify app works behind the scenes, check out the blog post:

You've asked for this... and now Compose 1.9 alpha introduces two new modifiers 👀 Modifier.innerShadow() and Modifier.dropShadow()

Allowing you to more closely align your designs to your Figma specs, unlocking fun effects like Neumorphic type UIs 😍

Made some things with clay - the filament light was for a team building event for work, obviously had to make a little droid with the leftovers.

Air-dry clay is so satisfying to work with, bummer you can use it for liquids / food🏺

❤️ Loved learning from @cyrilmottier.com and team on how they've built Bump with #JetpackCompose to create delightful experiences in their app with some truly unique designs. 😻

One of my fav features of app is the edge zoom effect 🤩

googling something I really don't know the answer to and only finding my own results 🥲 I'm doomed aren't I?

Frosty lived a very short life, but it was a great life.

It snowed last night, our first snow in the UK...

Yes we made a small snowman.
Yes my neighbours probably think we are crazy.

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄

✨ New #JetpackCompose feature ✨

Introducing `keyframesWithSpline`, unlike the standard `keyframes` animation spec, it produces a natural smooth curve, perfect for working with predefined X,Y coords.

I love how someone at the Natural History Museum said "let's put a Christmas jumper on T-Rex" and no one objected 😆🎄🦖

Haven't baked in a while but today I baked a retro wave cake for my husband's birthday tomorrow 😁

The inspiration pic vs the cake I made. The mountains are just chocolate covered toblerone ⛰️🌄
