    I thought it was a great idea to find out how certain features are implemented in other people’s projects. I know two open-source apps that are similar to what I want to build: uhabits and tasks.org.

    I think it really depends on what your definition of "productive" is.

    Let me try and quantify it. I looked through my apps that I installed from F-Droid, then looked at their GitHub issues and picked one [0]. I bet I could implement that in less than a week with 0 Android development experience.

    > Every Android version is basically a reboot in many parts of the framework, the device fragmentation is hardly any better than J2ME days, several features are only documented via samples or Google IO talks, Gradle plugins require rewrites between upgrades, and each Android Studio release is a box of surprises what quirks it has.

    Does any of that really matter if you're hiring someone into an existing org? Doesn't Android have amazing backwards compatibility? I'm sure I have some dice app from 2012 that still runs. The company is probably targeting some version of Android and isn't changing to the latest one every time a new version is released.

    Then follow me in supporting the project. As I've got little time on my hands atm I'm supporting it financially. And using the tasks.org sync is working well for me (except for the hiccups I denoted in my last two posts and although there's no good desktop solution for my taste as of now).

    There is no tasks.org web app. And Google really doesn't present a decent web app either for Google Tasks other than as a sidebar in Gmail. THere are extensions and other apps that work fairly well, but nothing native.
