semver is great for libraries, but for end-user apps... it doesn't really map
guess i've been instinctively doing pride versioning for my apps lol
yet I still have an internal conflict about releases that *I* think are awesome, but that users would see as just another incremental update

It also doesn't seem to support Bluesky quote posts? It just includes them as links, as it did in my this post from my last thread: bsky.app/profile/ska...

Of all Kotlin Multiplatform targets I'm targeting with the Font Viewer rewrite, Android is the most finicky to support, and it gets trickier the lower your minSdk is!
Take this example: creating a Font object out of a file, on desktop vs. Android. A thread🧵

First time needing to use an `unsafe` API in Rust!
This one concerns IO-safety, not memory-safety, and I use it to pass a file descriptor to an Android Uri from the Kotlin side and read it as a File from the Rust side.

I've built a custom solution that relies on setting a higher line height (and aligning text to the bottom), and then drawing the furigana in the empty space on top.
It's quite messy now and there's some rough edges, but I hope to open source it soon!
Here's how this looks (from the app itself):

i mean technically the moroccan dialect is pretty much lots of heavily stylized/modified arabic with quite some french / breber
and in tech circles we also mix in a bunch of english

a worse one is the slightly smiling face: 🙂
in every pack it's a cold smiley face, gives that "meh" feeling
microsoft kept screwing it up _every single damn time_ until 2023 when they made the eyes a bit smaller

Tried to recreate this effect in Compose using Haze!
Just a couple of hazeEffect layers on top of each other with a small padding added to the top one, with a very high blurRadius for the bottom one (that shows as the border).

TIL `contentKey` in `AnimatedContent`, and it's amazing for working with state that's represented as sealed classes!
I used to go through so much pain to avoid triggering a transition (first image) when all it takes is a single line of code (second image) 😭

was super excited to just update assets on Play Console and hit publish until I realized that it's _required_ to have a web page for account deletion on the data safety section if you allow users to create accounts...
tired af but made a little thing to comply:

it started on a phone when i was 14... using sketchware (a scratch-like thing but for apps), then i had most of my initial java experience on a galaxy mini, writing little console tools :3
there's so much wild stuff after that... some of it is in these pictures (in order, see alt text)
