Sometimes I get asked for advice on how to become a software developer. What I can suggest to them is ... I think, hard work and regular practice are essential to becoming a programmer.

What I did:

I continued working on the process of fetching information for a single article. I completed the use case and added its invocation to the ArticleScreenModel. In the end, I checked the correct functioning of all these calls. Everything worked fine. I slightly updated the models to maintain a single model for each particular entity, especially in the domain layer. In the data layer, I saw three different models that come from the API. It's not necessary to try to keep them the same; I will add additional mappers to the domain models, which is a core principle for the Clean Architecture approach.

I'm thinking about displaying of comments and web content. In general, we only need to display a few web elements, and it's possible to do this by manage native components: text, links and images. There are just thoughts

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.
