✨New Twine feature✨

Not sure which feeds to follow? Twine now has a discovery section you can browse to get started.

It will be shown during onboarding, when adding a feed, and in the main navigation if you just want to browse what's available.

New Twine update v2.11.0 rolling out now to Android & iOS ✨

Made some UI changes to improve user experience, and bunch of new features and customisations, along with bunch of bug fixes.

If you haven't already, give it a try!

And I am not open-sourcing the project or publishing to Google Play, it's just more work I have to do.

It's a personal project that's just build around our needs.

Oh yeah, I am a dad now btw 😁

It had no trouble adding @Firebase Firestore integration, end-to-end encryption, multi-user support, alarms, timers in notifications, and working with Material 3 components.

For now it's a basic setup with @jetbrains Junie CLI and @AndroidStudio

It's amazing how much AI agents for Android dev has improved.

Used Junie and Gemini 3 to build an app I need, and it build the entire app in few hours and required minimal amount of manual changes. Used @stitchbygoogle to generate initial designs to iterate on.

Anyone got good book recommendations for learning more about OpenGL shading language or shading languages in general?
