A new digest about cross-platform development, about the best applications of 2019, about minimalism in design and dark themes, about the prospects of AR-glasses, libraries and even the color of 2020.
This article is an open letter from an ordinary Android developer to the community at large and to Google’s management. In short: my developer account on Google Play was demolished within an hour after ten years of good cooperation.
Tell us about your strengths and weaknesses in development, test your skills and share what projects you are working on and which languages, tools, technologies and platforms you prefer.
