accompanist VS glide

The truly disheartening part is that whenever you choose something that works, for example ViewPager1, you need to defend that yes, this thing actually works as intended, yes, there's nothing in it that would "break over time" just because Googlers added the @Deprecated on it, and yes, you still don't want to use Compost for this because you still cannot scroll vertically in a horizontal Pager if your view is a WebView.

Compose on the other hand came out half-baked, significant performance issues, missing features, bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs.

Just to add to the list, Accompanist is a collection of compose libraries that helps a lot with some features. I can recommend Navigation-Animationand Permissions. https://github.com/google/accompanist

To give a bit of context, libraries not released as Jetpack libraries as experiment projects. Once they're released as Jetpack libraries, we have stricter release schedule in place and more resources to provide better stability for developers. That's why some Accompanist libraries end up as part of Compose foundation set, while others are still being shipped as part of the Accompanist project.

So you're going to get support for Parcelables in argument passing, animation support without having to fear crashes, and if you drink the ScopedServices koolaid you even get to get DI with lifecycle management and scope inheritance.

Here's a fun bug though https://github.com/google/accompanist/issues/1233

There is a bug the preview is not working when System UI controller is used. See issue tracker here.

👋 I have been using Mobius personally and for work for over two years now. It's a lot of fun to use and I would definitely recommend the community to consider using it. I frequently visit their GitHub repo because they still have their documentation in the GitHub wiki, unlike new repos such as Accompanist. So, I thought what better way to give back than do the grunt work of porting their wiki to GitHub Pages + MkDocs ❤️🔥

Accompanist for unofficial stuff that's still useful

Do you mean what I use to show the images? I am using the Glide library, you can find more information here: https://github.com/bumptech/glide

as mentioned in the other post i don't have too much insight in the art loading because its using https://github.com/bumptech/glide for all image loading. Resolution is the only thing i know for sure can prevent an imagine from successfully loading, whether or not that resolution is fixed or if its dependent on the device I have not been able to determine

Ah, yes, downloading images as a files works completely differently from displaying images and it doesn't use any cache. Though in theory you could rewrite downloading logic to use the same mechanism as display (which is Glide)

Glide

You can also take a look at Coil, Picasso or Glide which usually have some kind of crossfade animation when the image loads.

Image loading: Glide, Picasso, Coil, Fresco

Shortly said, they use React generally with fast-image and Glide for better loading of images Hermes JS Engine for app optimization. The app itself seems to generally use Kotlin and a few Java libraries and they also implemented Sqlite but I'm not sure about the use case for it probably they use it for progress though (The Developer/Marketer needs to confirm this), lastly they seem to use IntellJ Idea for programming and probably compiling

If you see a file like this: https://github.com/bumptech/glide/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/bumptech/glide/RequestBuilder.java tell me that your eyes don't immediately go to the comments first instead of the code.
