android-dev-challenge-compose-design VS Slide

you're asking about how to do this

I still don't know why I needed this Layout, but it's true that replacing drawables and styleables with mere function calls and function arguments respectively is promising

You can extract logical components to the top of a composable as local functions and retain reasonable scoping while also creating local components, thus making the actual code straightforward to read (even if you sometimes need to also add hacks because Compose be Compose)

Yeah, both for measuring the current width/height of the layout (like getting the screen size), and also when things like Modifier.fillMaxSize(0.5f) doesn't work and I have to write code like this

Oh, that's unique to Navigation-Compose's design, and has nothing to do with declarative UI in particular. For me, navigation in compose is just this

Although I personally would rather pass in lambdas and then make the connection

Thank you kind stranger! I opened https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide/issues/3485 with slightly different instructions (shaved off a couple of steps). For example Step 1 can be skipped by doing clone from repo in step 4.

TIL that Slide is also open source: https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide

So long Slide and Infinity, ill see you again in the Fediverse

I didn't actually hear that they were doing API changes? I use Slide, so I guess for me one day in the future Reddit will just stop working.

Slide: intended for everyone, but Its lead developer was immediately open to addressing accessibility concerns, during the beta process, and u/MostlyBlindGamer was able to contribute several fixes for the TalkBack screen reader.

Which would be good open source 3rd party apps to test with? I found a couple of mobile apps, like https://github.com/Docile-Alligator/Infinity-For-Reddit and https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide

FYI, Infinity and Slide are solid reddit apps and both open-source. I still prefer RIF, but in case your wish doesn't come true there are already at least two pretty good options.

I used to use Slide. Switched to Infinity after seeing it promoted on F-Droid. Both are great (with a preference for Infinity) and I will stop using reddit on mobile because I refuse to use their mobile app.

This project will be on indefinite hiatus for the foreseeable future, and may not be maintained. Updates are not guaranteed. See here for details.
