  • ObjectBox Java (Kotlin, Android)

    Java and Android Database - fast and lightweight without any ORM

  • When I first attempted to publish to F-Droid, I experienced several pipeline issues. After reading through the pipeline logs in GitLab, I realized that my application's database (ObjectBox) was not entirely FOSS compliant and was causing build failures. The following day was spent migrating my app to Room.
