Halil Ozercan @halilibo.com · 27/03/2025I have this internal document at work that I wrote more than 2 years ago. Almost every ~3 months I keep referencing it to someone new. The doc is about text scaling, rotation, translation animations on Android and why the text sometimes jitters. I should publish it at some point. Any interest? 0171
