This is a beginner-friendly Android blog app built using Jetpack Compose. The app fetches blog data from a GitHub repository (used as a free backend) and displays them in a well-formatted and responsive UI. Blogs are written in Markdown and rendered beautifully in the app. The app also supports offline access using Room database.
- 📰 View blog list with image thumbnails
- 📖 Read blog content formatted with Markdown
- 🔄 Smooth shimmer effect during loading
- 📡 Fetch blogs remotely from GitHub
- 💾 Offline support using local Room database
- 🌙 Works in light and dark mode

This is not a static app. Blog content is dynamic and can be updated remotely via GitHub without changing the app codebase.
