You made a nice sample using MVI. The Search history feature is quite interesting. Thank you for that, But as far as I know StarWars API supports pagination. Did you use Paging library to display search items?

Hi, thank you 🙏🏾.
I didn't implement the lazy loading pagination like the paging library does.
I recursively pull the data from the api if a next page is available.

Yea it doesn't scale but it was sorta fun 😸

Considering that StarWars API does not need to load many items and it is always limited to a few characters, I agree that you had a nice idea here. Thank you for sharing.
