Like a lot of the Android team yesterday, I resigned from @Twitter 🫡💙

Personally, I’m going to take a break and work out I want to do next.

I just want to say thank you to all of the tweeps who made my time so great. #LoveWhereYouWorked

Short 🧵 /1

My team shipped #JetpackCompose and all of our internal supporting infra internally, supporting a bunch of teams, enabling them to move soooo much faster. We fully built out our design system as part of this too. /2

We (and I mean mostly @_sierraobryan here) were this close to shipping the Compose re-write of a core piece of UI which is used *everywhere*, but alas it now lives in unshipped experimentation purgatory. /3

We built out all of the infra for screenshot testing (using @CashApp's Paparazzi), enabling us to achieve near 100% test coverage of our core UI components.

This was also being used by various feature teams and we were hoping to roll it out further. /4

We (and I entirely mean @mrmans0n) worked tirelessly on our internal MVI framework, powering 99% (guess) of the Android app. It had recently been migrated to Coroutines and was close to open source release 😢 /5

This was a personal itch, but we were soooo close to shipping bottom sheets which displayed behind the navigation bar, and used elevation overlays. I even got to use Insetter again. /6

To list a few others:
🆕 navigation drawer UI
(@wsferguson), all app bars using Compose (@Flubarb @1taylorsandusky), settings migration to Compose (@yoali_sb) /7

Anyway, that's just a tiny peek into some of the stuff we did. That is to say, we did some amazing things together and I learnt a ton. /8

Thank you to my amazing team: @mrmans0n @_sierraobryan @Flubarb @wsferguson @yoali_sb @1taylorsandusky @dankim @llgoodChristian

There are loads of tweeps who l'm definitely missing here 💙

Good luck to everyone. If you need anything, let me know.
