Rings 1.9 sneak peek: Workout heatmap and recording methods are coming!

Compose Multiplatform is awesome... until you start writing widgets 😅
Here’s what I’ve got for boop so far after way too much copy pasting
#buildinpublic

I will say writing widget configuration on iOS is much easier than Android. Zero UI code needed. 😅

Built this whole app around dark mode, but slowly stepping into the light! 🌙→☀️
Experimental light mode support coming in Rings v1.7.0

#buildinpublic

Having fun experimenting with more Android widgets. Turns out custom colors don’t update automatically when dark mode is enabled. Had to hack around some unused Glance theme colors. Surely there’s a better way? But hey, they’re working now.

Ah, the battles with App reviews has begun. 🤧

The "return" just hits different. Feeling kinda legit now.

No biggie, just casually spent the past three days adding Room dependency to my Compose Multiplatform project... I’m not crying, I swear 😅

The pain of working with an alpha framework that is the Health Connect. Was trying to make a steps-per-30-mins graph. Tested on a Samsung, and getting the same number for all intervals. Then found out Samsung Health uploads steps once in the 00:00 - 23:59 time frame

Been working with design to refresh the widget library—should make things clearer and give you more options. Coming in Rings 1.5! 👀 @echoyou67.bsky.social

This week felt like an endless grind of widget work, but the finish line is finally in sight! Huge kudos to my designer tolerating me through it all🙌

Some fresh new widgets incoming to Rings 👀

Been reworking the onboarding pages—here's a sneak peek. Turns out ChatGPT is pretty great at animations if you can describe them well enough.😅 #buildinpublic #androiddev

Finally added background sync to Rings! Widgets now update health data automatically without needing to open the app. Took way too long, but it's here in 1.4!
#buildinpublic #AndroidDev

Finally! After days of debugging... Health data can auto refresh in the background now... coming in 1.4?
