Welcome to this session! For the whole day I’ll be looking at the replies to this thread and answer your questions. If something remains unanswered, replies can be posted even during the following days.

There are no rules, “anything” is anything! Use a grain of salt and a little bit of irony, though. Also, I would really like to hear something in your native language on your first comment: it can be a greeting, the question itself, a joke, an insult or anything crosses your mind in that moment. Have fun!

    Are you going to publish R4L on F-Droid any time soon or will it be GitHub exclusive?

      If we manage to get in touch with IzzySoft we can, as soon as we have a release, distribute on the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo as it was previously done. Then we can reach out to F-Droid maintainers too, to see whether we’re more lucky with the submission.

      There are no plans to include any non-free libraries so the new app will be compliant with the guidelines as the previous one was. Unfortunately there were issues with Gradle builds due to some non-reproducibility issues (e.g. due to strings resources) which blocked the validation process.

    What can you do better than 99.9% of the rest of the human population?

    What do you feel you’re so bad at that your capabilities are in the bottom 10%?

      I am one of the best overthinkers of the world, that is why I’m into software development.

      I am really an awful car driver, instead.

    At what level does the low washer fluid light come on for a 2014 Subaru crosstrek hybrid? I pot a gallon in and the light has come on after only using it a few times.

    What are you more worried about getting out being tied to you, the email handle you made in middle school that you can’t stop using, or your adult site handle?

    Compared to another app say Eternity, I get the feeling that Raccoon wastes less space. Particularly I have seen the wasting of space in apps that unusually tom tom their Material design.

    Do you know why does it appear like that? And is there no way for a user to adjust padding?

      Raccoon is implemented using Jetpack Compose for the UI layer and the Material 3 libraries (some components like pull-to-refresh are in falback mode on Material 2, though) so it should respect the guidelines, e.g. for text fields, bottom navigation, navigation drawer, top application bar, etc.

      Where there were blatant violations it has been reported and fixed in the past, e.g. here, here or here. However if you are referring to post layout, the choices are not configurable except for full-width images.

      There was a graphic designer once who told spacings were “all wrong” but when asked for suggestions he disappeared. If we could isolate the most painful points and make targeted interventions, it would be super. The next months are going to be dedicated to stabilize and improve the app rather than adding new features.

          Good timing! I’m updating one of the UI elements to use a newer library, which increased the spacing a bit on its own.
          I’ve attached an example here, so you can see the before and after.

          Please bear in mind

          • Spacing around the handle comes that way
          • The library is currently bugged when it comes to detecting the nav bar height, so I had to set it to clear the 3 button nav bar

          Finally, it may be possible to add a setting to configure the spacing in the app - we would likely need to define a few different Spacing definitions (compact, medium, airy?)… While not a priority at this exact moment, it may be worth creating a feature request!

      Obtainium checks under the releases of the repo if there are any stable or pre-release ones, but there is currently no release in this repository.

      We are planning to do the first release in the beginning of September, because we decided to properly setup the CI pipeline on GitHub, which had not been done by the previous maintainer due to time constraints (he probably preferred to focus on the development of new features/bug solving rather than on process optimization).
