If you maintain shared libraries across multiple Android or Kotlin Multiplatform projects, you’ve probably considered publishing them to a Maven repository. Maven Central works, but the publishing process is heavy — GPG signing, Sonatype staging, approval delays. For private or small-scale libraries, that’s overkill. If you already self-host a Git server like Gitea or Gogs, you can use it as a Maven repository with zero additional infrastructure.
Umami is a great privacy-focused, self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics. But its documentation assumes you’re tracking a website. If you want to use it in a mobile app, the docs point you toward embedding a WebView — which is clunky, adds overhead, and feels wrong for native apps. There’s a better way: hit the Umami API directly.
FreqDroid 1.2 is out with two notification upgrades: a new in-app notification history screen and support for rich exit notifications via FreqTrade’s strategy callback — giving you Telegram-style trade alerts without Telegram.
Version 3 of Weekly Weather is out, and it’s a significant update. The headline addition is an interactive radar map with animated precipitation overlays, but there’s a lot more packed into this release.

Today I want to share how I built a complete cryptocurrency mining monitoring app in just one day, from initial concept to Google Play Store submission, using Cursor as my IDE.
When ChatGPT was released on November 30, 2022, few of us understood how dramatically it would transform the software development landscape. As someone who’s worked through this transition, I’ve witnessed firsthand the remarkable shift in how we approach coding and problem-solving.
You can move the /home folder on Ubuntu, but you must do it carefully to avoid breaking your system. Below are the steps to safely move /home to a new location.
Introduction
In the ever-evolving world of mobile app development, choosing the right cross-platform framework can be a game-changer for businesses and developers alike. Two prominent contenders in this space are React Native and Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP). Both offer unique approaches to the challenge of writing code once and deploying it across multiple platforms. This article will dive deep into the strengths and considerations of each, helping you make an informed decision for your next project.
Model-View-Intent (MVI) is a powerful architectural pattern for building user interfaces, especially in Android development. In this post, we’ll explore a helper class that simplifies the implementation of MVI, making it easier to manage state, handle user intents, and emit actions in your application.
As developers, we’ve all been there. You’ve added a file or folder to your .gitignore, but Git keeps tracking it anyway. What gives? Let’s dive into why this happens and how to fix it.
When working with Git repositories, you often need to authenticate using SSH keys. While you can configure SSH settings globally, there are times when you need to use a specific SSH key for just one command. This is particularly useful when cloning a new repository or adding a submodule, where there isn’t yet a local .git/config file to modify.
