✨ New Twine update rolling out ✨
In case you're wondering what the perf changes are, it's handling unnecessary recompositions because of dynamic theming I had implemented 😅

@sebastiano.dev it looks like LookAheadScope and animateBounds is enough to animate the LazyVerticalGrid cell changes.
Obviously the transition isn’t perfect but I think adjusting animation timings and playing around with fade spec for other items should improve it.

This is a nice addition to Android Studio/Intellij Idea. I can just quickly test out all my API calls without having to switch to a different app.

It's not yet available on the Play Store. However, Twine now offers three distinct viewing options for the home screen. If you dislike having the carousel displayed at the top, you can turn it off or choose a simple layout with no images, displaying only the titles.

I thought I could just pass initialKey to the Paging library and it would just load pages starting from that index, but that didn't work when using it in a HorizontalPager. So, I guess I am stuck with this code 😂

@kagi.com has some clever features. Like lenses, I have created a custom lens, where I can search for shows available on predefined Indian OTT platforms.
