Unusable or Undebuggable? Rebelling against “best practices”
Thanks to new Compose libraries, making a good looking Wear OS app is becoming very easy!
However, on the watch, if you need to scroll, LazyColumn gives you 5-10 frames per second at best in debug mode.
Unusable? Unacceptable!
Actually, I noticed the scrolling performance wasn't that great in debug on the phone too, so I went on to fix this, succeeded, and got bonus features I missed in LazyColumn!
You'll learn the full story and see how it's all implemented.
I love reliable, efficient, and fun things.
Kotlin is my go-to tool to achieve that in software projects since 2016.
I maintain a few successful open source projects like refreshVersions and Splitties, while seeking new problems to solve with new libraries.
Always trying to innovate, I am interested in a lot of technical subjects of all scales, and how they are linked, directly or not.
I also specifically love commuting by recumbent bike, velomobiles, and lego technic.
