Saket Narayan @saket.me · 10/08/2026It is mildly interesting that the creator of apilevels.com is not even an Android developer.apilevels.comAndroid API LevelsA quick reference table of Android versions with SDK & API levels, version codes, codenames, cumulative usage, and more. 151
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 29/07/2026In good company. Thank you @androiddevs.bsky.social 💚! android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/07/five... 1191
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 29/07/2026I have many reasons, but the real reason is that I've found a shinier app idea lol. 110
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 29/07/2026Nice! I wonder what the gains would be like at Square considering our project has thousands of modules. 100
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 28/07/2026I started building the app because I found myself watching a movie every now and then on my phone during travel. The app is in good shape, I use it often, but not in great shape for a public release. 😅 100
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 25/07/2026so true. this month was a media organizer for movies and tv shows stored on my device. 120

Saket Narayan @saket.me · 25/07/2026AI has made me so productive. I'm now abandoning a new side project every month instead of one a year. 323420
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 10/07/2026For Linear, I can still see myself using their workflow of filing a ticket and then asking its agent to do a first pass. I wasn't expecting a document editor to go after Linear/Jira 😅 020
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 10/07/2026Good point. Eventually you have to take a step back and realize the app doesn't need any more features. 140
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 10/07/2026Block moved all its documents to Notion two years ago. Huge upgrade over Confluence, but a lot of us still don't love it because it keeps trying to be an operating system instead of just... being a good document editor. www.notion.com/product/ship...notion.comNotion | The agent-native way to ship software.From feedback to launch - all inside Notion.

Saket Narayan @saket.me · 25/05/2026Introducing Touch Robot, something that has materially changed how I write screenshot tests. We've been using it at Block for ~2 years to catch animation and gesture bugs that static screenshots miss. saket.me/touch-robot/saket.meIntroducing Touch Robot, for writing interactive screenshot tests in Compose UIThe best parts of a UI are usually in motion. The bugs are too. 1205

Saket Narayan @saket.me · 21/04/2026That... is indeed an interesting setup. What made you go all manual? 110
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 19/04/2026Google Keep's recent update offloaded reminders to Google Tasks, and it's been such a massive downgrade because they constantly go out of sync. I loved Keep, but I'll have to switch. What are people using these days to manage their todos? 750
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 02/04/2026I built a tiny IntelliJ IDEA plugin for something that had been bothering me for years github.com/saket/intell... 5289
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 02/04/2026After 2.5y of development, github.com/saket/teleph... is nearing ~600 screenshot tests that verify all possible combinations of usages. It's one of the most thoroughly tested UI libraries you'll find for Android. Shout out to my friends at emulator.wtf without whom this wasn't possible! 1163
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 01/04/2026I get that Google optimized for customizable OEM skins, but I wish they didn't look so bad. I almost always disable device skins -- the emulator looks better without them. 180
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 01/04/2026It's interesting how clearly Google vs Apple shows up in something as small as virtual devices frames. iOS simulator: sharp, natively rendered Android emulator: transparent PNG, rough corners with jagged edges 1103

Reposted by Saket NarayanMatt McKenna @mmckenna.me · 09/03/2026Today I’m open-sourcing Dejavu! Testing UI performance in Jetpack Compose is frustrating. We profile and watch tools, yet regressions still creep in. I built Dejavu to make recomposition behavior something you can actually test. 74011
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 09/03/2026The answer was no, so I'm building this myself as v2 of github.com/saket/swipe. Here's a first draft: 0171
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 07/03/2026Did Google ever release this swipe component as part of Material Design? 100
Reposted by Saket NarayanPablo Baxter @pablobaxter.com · 02/03/2026Please don't boycott OSS... Follow the authors, maintainers, and contributors to them, as many of them will continue to support their projects regardless of the company they go to. Also, if you can, sponsor these individuals too! Many of them have links for sponsorship on their Github profiles. 071
Reposted by Saket NarayanP-Y @p-y.wtf · 02/03/2026What happens to Square / Block Android OSS projects post layoffs? Let's start with some context OSS at Square is mostly a happy accident. Jack hired Bob, who's job was attracking world class engineers, and he did that through talks & OSS. 28123
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 28/02/2026You'll be so dearly missed Chris! Sucks that this is happening. 020
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 27/02/2026Most of you have heard about Block's 40% layoffs by now, but the numbers are even worse. Engineering was hit harder, we've lost close to 70% of our engineers. Our leadership is plagued by false promises of "intelligence". The company you once knew as a prolific OSS contributor no longer exists. 4545

Saket Narayan @saket.me · 23/02/2026Sounds like a great idea. Do you have a video of what this looks like in action? 130
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 04/02/2026I think I like it. If anyone else is looking for the setting: Preferences → Editor → Appearance → Use smooth caret movement. 120
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 27/01/2026Looks like Compose UI is finally addressing a long-standing issue on Android where the experience of scrolling nested lists hasn't felt as good as on iOS. issuetracker.google.com/issues/26962... 0131
Saket Narayan @saket.me · 22/01/2026After six beautiful years in Kitchener-Waterloo, we are moving to Seattle. Grateful for the people and memories that made this place home. Hoping it feels like home too. 3200
