#Android 17 brings a major wave of smart upgrades, tighter security, and deeper AI integration. I broke down everything you need to know about what's new and how to get the most out of it for @ixmagazin.bsky.social / @heise.de 👇 www.heise.de/ratgeber/And...
Android 17: Intelligent modernisiert?

I told agents to pass package names. That was wrong. AppFunctions alpha10 also quietly killed the library-hosted service. Here's what broke on Be nice, and what I changed. dev.to/tkuenneth/ap...

Happy Sunday. Having fun polishing Min Time. Mind you, the app started 2014, and this is not Jetpack Compose. Remember, legacy does not mean shitty, it however does require expertise

Happy weekend. Be nice has a very handy hyper-scroll feature. If you did not give it a try, you really should. This is how modern #Android launchers should look like #OpenSource codeberg.org/tkuenneth/be...
FOMO time. Tomorrow I would have been on my way to Berlin, looking forward to I/O Connect, but due to a nasty cold I needed to cancel literally last minute 😭😭😭 Enjoy dear friends, hope we can catch up later this year
I just sent out jetc.dev Newsletter Issue #319! Compose patch release! 1.12 beta! Compose Multiplatform alpha! Viewmodel scoping! Coil 3! @romainguy.dev on color mixing! And... iOS is getting Ink?!? jetc.dev/issues/319 #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev
Which is a good reminder that we do not necessarily need a new device each year. And that there always will be refurbished ones which I'm any case will remain cheaper
The Verge@theverge.com · 2mo agoApple CEO Tim Cook: "We’re doing our best to mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable."
Always a pleasure to return to Berlin. This week it's a business trip, but next week it'll be I/O Connect ❤️🔥
Hi! I mailed out jetc.dev Newsletter Issue #318! @eevis.codes on acessible links! RemoteCompose! Cross-platform barcode scanning! Blueprints in previews! And... we seem to be short a BOM?!? jetc.dev/issues/318 #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev
Just in case you were wondering why I was a little quiet the last two weeks. That's because Moni and I had an incredible vacation in York. Absolutely fabulous place

I love the fast paced app development using AI. Seriously. But being an old-school guy I take joy from thoroughly reviewing the code. And it still is a mess often, regardless of the model. Anyone claiming that we can leave reviews to AI, too, is either ... [censored]
Be nice, my take on modern launchers for #Android, received a couple of nice updates. Get it on Google Play, F-Droid, or directly from codeberg.org/tkuenneth/be...

I released the inaugural 0.1.0 of Knosh yesterday. Knosh is a Kotlin NO-SHell coding agent harness (hence, "Knosh"), designed for "one-shot" requests. It supports supplying a full prompt or having Knosh and your chosen model perform more structured tasks, like updating KDocs in specified files.
Thank you very much @androidweekly.bsky.social for sharing my article "Adaptable Apps on ChromeOS: A Post-Mortem" in issue 728 of Android Weekly

Be nice has a transparent app window so that the system wallpaper can shine through. Unless on #ChromeOS, that is, because there Android app window background is quite a mess. Therefore, Be nice 2.1.2 can now show custom backgrounds
