Added deep link support to FantasyPremierLeague #KMP sample using the new Navigation 3 deep link support. github.com/joreilly/Fan... One set of matchers in shared code that works on Android and iOS (and desktop), with a synthetic back stack so it lands in the list-detail layout.

Tried out Gemini 3.8 TTS in the FormAI app. A cool thing about this is that you can design your own voice 😀 "A warm, encouraging golf coach in his late 40s with a soft, lilting Galway accent from the west of Ireland, speaking with calm authority and plain, friendly directness."

Using new Jetpack Compose A2UI library to show UI (cards, charts, tabs etc) generated by a Koog based AI agent in the ClimateTrace sample, including custom components and handling user actions @androiddevs.bsky.social johnoreilly.dev/posts/a2ui-c... Really cool to see these capabilities emerging!

BikeShare #KMP/#CMP sample (github.com/joreilly/Bik...) updated to use the MapComposeMP library (github.com/p-lr/MapComp...) in the Android, Desktop and Web Compose Multiplatform clients. The SwiftUI iOS client is still using MapKit.

I started reimplementing nice iOS and web UI showcases in Compose for desktop, together with @csinco.com. They're vibe coded, because the point is "anyone can do this today if they want to". You can find them on github.com/rock3r/biopa..., and we'll keep on growing it!

TIL you can get IntelliJ to sync project with later AGP version than it officially supports (e.g. one that Android Studio supports and is sometimes required for latest Compose etc) by setting following in idea.properties gradle.ide.support.future.agp.versions=true

Claude very handy for this 😀. This is using the MCP server from the FantasyPremierLeague KMP sample (github.com/joreilly/Fan...) ...which was developed in turn using the Kotlin MCP SDK (github.com/modelcontext...).

The Pragmatic Programmer (a.co/d/0jeAYXZt) 27 years ago compared software development to tending an organic, evolving garden. I think most, if not all, aspects of that metaphor still hold in the era of AI coding agents but now including elements of industrial farming! 😀

All-or-nothing thinking is something many people with #MentalHealth challenges experience. Breaking out of that is so important.....even for example allowing yourself to acknowledge that you're feeling say 3/10 today instead of 2/10 you were yesterday makes a big difference.
