This app and related code is free to use for anyone. This was a side project to learn Android, kotlin and the many libraries that came along with it.
There are many Hacker News apps, but this one focused on two features:
- Widgets: This app supports dynamic widgets using Compose Glance. The widgets can be themed and set up with one of the three main categories: "New", "Top" and "Best".
- Themes: Both the widgets and the main app support a number of color schemes based on user preference.
The app can be downloaded from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thirdgate.hackernews
- Clone repo and open with Android Studio. Ensure gradle and libraries build properly.
- App is built to use an API which scrapes and preprocesses hackernews. The code for that can be found: https://github.com/ddxv/hackernews-api
