kiwix-android VS kotter

Thanks for checking that. So it seems like we have an issue with UTF8 search for mutli-byte character sets. I've opened this issue on GitHub to investigate further: Search appears to be broken with Chinese characters (possibly all UTF-8 multibyte characters).

Either way the previous version still works. https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/releases/tag/3.8.0

Looking further it looks like 3.6.0 used to be on f-droid https://www.reddit.com/r/Kiwix/comments/wxaf88/kiwixandroid_360_available_on_fdroid_major_fix/ but was pulled all the way back to 2.4 due to containing non FOSS. https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues/30910 which looks like isn't slated to be fixed until 3.7.0

https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android haven’t been there for a few years now but happy with what I did and taught. Introduced kotlin to a pure java environment and it was so much better every time

Never had such a problem with my Pixel4 but I would totally suggest you open a ticket on github describing the issue.

It's a known issue and should be fixed with the next release, but feel free to open a ticket on https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues

That's an unusual issue - would you mind opening a ticket on https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues ? (basically indicate the Android version, device, Kiwix version, etc. so we can try and reproduce)

You can check out my project https://github.com/varabyte/kotter if you want to see something that makes heavy use of extension functions (even though if you're a beginner using it, you probably wouldn't notice, because Intellij IDEA is so good about auto-importing things for you).

Actually, more often than not I was talking about this library: https://github.com/varabyte/kotter. With a smattering of https://github.com/varabyte/truthish.

I'm currently using Picnic and Mordant which are working nicely. I've tried out Kotter and Text-IO, but they either open a Swing terminal or require you to run a `.bat` script or something.

I'm not too sure how to answer your question about language features in Kotter. Except maybe to point you at its extensive README and large collection of examples.

The first few examples I wrote were fairly bland, basically shaping and testing features as I created them. text, anim, blink, and input are in that category. (Plus, Kotter didn't have unit tests in the early days; instead, I just ran those programs over and over and over again).

You can find the project for the code here. As it's just an example project and not some final production codebase, so there's only a single source file in it, main.kt. It clocks in at 462 lines of code to accomplish everything you see above, and it took about a day.

Hey OP, maybe it's overkill for you to change the implementation at this point but I wrote https://github.com/varabyte/kotter which is a Kotlin terminal library that runs your app in a virtual terminal if it can't run otherwise (e.g. in the intellij terminal). You'd probably be able to use it as a backend for inquirer if you were interested.

Gotcha! I created https://github.com/varabyte/konsole/issues/63 based on this conversation. Feel free to review it and add anything I may not have captured.
