Today I heard a thought in a podcast that resonated with me: Practice is a direct way to become an expert in something. You shouldn't just read a book or attend conferences; you should keep your hands-on practice.

What I did:

I worked on implementing a switch for the sorting configuration of the articles. I added simple UI elements that contain FilterChip and implement logic for handling presses and changing its state. I connected them with the logic for fetching articles and updated the behavior of the pagination object to reset the current state. The only remaining task is to fix the UI, as it is still very rough.

What I will do:

• Add Detekt(a static code analysis tool) to the project.
• Update README file with description of project.
• Create a GitHub project to manage the tasks for future collaboration.
• Fix comment element
• Implementation of WebView to display stub content
• Theme configuration for Lottie animation

If you want to join the project, just leave a comment here, or write a message in LinkedIn.

What help I'm looking for:

Designer (create design of application in Figma)
Android/KMM developer
Any other help related to the project.
