A few goals for the week: https://lobste.rs/s/2g4s1p/what_are_you_working_on_this_week#c_hmykdk
First up: our eternally-delayed Android app.
I *really* never meant for it to be delayed for as long as it has. Mostly, they were personal reasons -- for one, I was doing both Android and iOS development at a day job for most of the time after we launched blogs/accounts in 2016. And having my days packed with nothing but that really made me not want to do more of it when I got home. Relatively speaking, native mobile development feels like going back to the days of programming with punch cards to me.
I was also focused on adding more features to the web app (the place where people could buy a subscription) so that more people would find it valuable enough to buy a subscription. Focusing on that took a few months before we saw our first customer that stayed.
I really wish I hadn't waited this long to take care of it -- I know plenty of people are waiting on the update. But the platform is at a good place, and I think I'm finally over the mobile development hangover. I'm ready to knock it out
I think once I've forgotten all the keyboard shortcuts in Android Studio that's a good sign I've been away long enough.
