I want to focus on the main screen this week and implement as much as I can. After that, I want to set up the project and try to publish it to Google Play. I want to create an environment when you can contribute to the project and deliver it without any problems.

What I did:

I spent an hour to implementing a simple element to display progress while loading a new portion of articles. I used a Lottie animation for this indicator. I added it as a separate composable that I am planning to use in other places too. 

Additionally, I started working on implementing sorting articles by relevance, latest, and popularity. I added logic to pass required parameters for this. Tomorrow, I am planing to add UI for switching between these categories. 
 
I created an issue to research how to correctly manage color changes for Lottie animations. I think I can implement this using dynamic properties, but I need more time for investigation.

What I will do:

• Add Detekt(a static code analysis tool) to the project.
• Update README file with description of project.
• Create a GitHub project to manage the tasks for future collaboration.
• Fix comment element
• Implementation of WebView to display stub content
• Theme configuration for Lottie animation

If you want to join the project, just leave a comment here, or write a message in LinkedIn.

What help I'm looking for:

Designer (create design of application in Figma)
Android/KMM developer
