  • I think it didn’t help that he was probably quite sick of the codebase. I’m new to it, and I at least have a plan for the modernization, so it should go okay! Just a shame that a lot of it is behind-the-scenes work for now to get something that fully works. Also, personally I hate frontend work anyway so having a preexisting world class UI is a big win





  • Extra notes for the techies; been kotlinifying the codebase as I go, its now mostly done, but vast swathes of the code in the original namespace needs serious redesign. There are some really great things in this, like I just came across the subsampling imageview which is a brilliant idea, but its undermined a bit by mindbogglingly bizarre things like using sharedpreferences to communicate the result of a folder chooser dialog. Notably, I’ve added some homegrown error reporting in this, that auto posts a github issue with stack trace on crash, which I’m real happy about, and I’m sure will get a battering once I tag a release
