Your phone is about to stop being yours. In 2027, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

this is crazy fucked up and anyone with an android should take a few minutes to read this, especially if youre an android developer. google is trying to get away with this in complete silence.

Gothic Pomodoro Devlog: 05/27/2026

I'm debating adding tags to each session so that the user can filter by their custom tags, maybe based on what they were working on. That feels like a later problem though.

I finished setting up the basics of the database and CRUD operations. I'm excited to get back into the UI and watch it all come together. It's only now occurring to me that this is the final module I have planned for the app so far. This means I'm making very good time, but it also means I have plenty of time to get stuck in UI design hell later.

I think my biggest problem with UI design is picking one vision. The aesthetics here are very important to me, which wasn't a big priority in most of my collegiate projects. It's not the implementation so much as it is deciding what exactly to implement. Balancing my desired dark, gothic aesthetic without it turning into someone's MySpace from 2007 is proving delicate.

I think I'll go hunting for inspiration and see if that is of any help. Feedback and tips are welcome and appreciated!

I need to do a small mobile application (using android studio) as part of an assignment for my internship

The app should be something like canva or picsart or other editing apps having a canvas where we can add elements like text, images etc

We should be able to add text to the canvas

We should be able to move the text around in the canvas

We should be able to change font, size, color etc

The app should have undo and redo buttons

The problem is, I don't know how to do this 💀 Anybody have any youtube links or other resources where I can learn how to do it?'

Why Google is restricting Android sideloading and what it means for the future of the platform

Google’s new restrictions on Android sideloading represent a structural shift toward tighter platform control, limiting the traditional freedom to install apps outside official stores. For more than a decade, Android differentiated itself from other mobile ecosystems through openness. Users could install applications directly through APK files without relying exclusively on the Play Store.…

Progress update: stuff

I've been pretty quiet lately because I've been slowly working on an android app of my own outside of work. Still a long way to go before it's finished, but baby steps.

It's an app where you can make custom beading patterns easily with mobile UI in mind. The only other one I've seen on the android store was this really old one with only two stars because they hide 90% of the features behind a paywall while calling it a free app.

While I like using the Beadographer website it has its limits and is designed for computers in mind rather than touch screens. Trying to use it on a phone can be a bit annoying.

Right now I have a basic grid set up for square stitch and loom stitch with the ability to select colors, color/clear beads on tap, add rows/columns, and pan/zoom in using two finger touch. I plan on adding more features including the following:

Drag your finger over several beads to color them at once rather than have to tap them individually.

Templates for several styles including peyote, brick, herringbone, right angle weave, different circular peyote stitches, and others.

Auto save patterns in progress.

Can store multiple patterns.

Create and save custom colors to use between projects.

Tools like undo/redo, rotate the canvas, select and drag, color picker, image import, and mirror.

Export patterns as png files.

Available different kinds of beads (toho, miyuki, etc)

I know this isn't most peoples' cup of tea but I'm really excited to try and complete this, and maybe even get it on the app store :D

My biggest worry is how I'm going to handle the circular peyote patterns since they don't conform to grids as easily as other styles would due to increases. The rest seems easy enough albeit long and tedious to develop and test for everything.

How to Create an AI Model: A Step-by-Step Guide

Creating an efficient AI model is crucial for companies seeking a competitive edge in today’s market, projected to reach USD 827 billion by 2030. These models, which can analyze vast datasets, help identify patterns and predict trends, thereby enabling informed decision-making. However, challenges such as data quality and bias remain significant. Companies must set clear objectives, prepare and clean data, select appropriate algorithms, and continuously evaluate and refine their models. By leveraging AI effectively, organizations, including development firms like Devstree, can enhance operational efficiency and unlock new growth opportunities in an increasingly competitive landscape.
