ごめん, i just restarted from a long hibernation
I was actually always super interested in making a native Android clone of KanKan in Kotlin & Compose, but life never gave way (nor does it seem to be on the horizon anytime soon
)
Even Kantan News has been abandoned for a while, and is now broken for more than a month as NHK changed their private APIs…
I’ll definitely be in touch if / when I finally get around to it ![]()
cool stuff
One cool thing about the modern Android tech stack is that porting it to iOS and Desktop would literally just be updating project config (and some minor code changes), thanks to JetBrains heavily investing in Kotlin and Compose Multiplatform.
In fact many would even recommend starting most new Android apps as multiplatform projects, even if you don’t intend to support iOS at the start, so the moment you do, you’re almost just flipping a switch.
