Backloggd App 2.1 - New look, smoother feel: Material 3

A fresh Material 3 look and a smoother feel throughout the app.

Download 2.1 here

New look and feel

• Material 3 design throughout: bottom navigation with pill indicator, rounded menus and dialogs, a new time picker and a settings screen with a proper title bar
• Smoother: no more rubber-band scrolling fighting pull-to-refresh, haptic feedback on navigation taps, the predictive back gesture, and messages that appear above the navigation bar
• Native splash screen in Backloggd's colors instead of a white flash on start
• Status and navigation bars blend into the app
• The website's footer is gone; its links (About, Contact, Terms, Privacy…) now live under About in the menu

More new features

• App shortcuts: long-press the app icon for Log a game, Search and Profile
• File upload and downloads: change your avatar and download files right in the app

Fixes

• Wishlist reminders work again. Backloggd redesigned the wishlist page, so the app stopped finding your games.
• Follower and comment notifications get the right title instead of just "Backloggd"

Under the hood

• Updated libraries (Material, AppCompat, Activity, WorkManager, jsoup)

Cheers to chemalr-dev for the motivation and inspiration
