/Jetpack-Compose-Android-History-Calendar-App

Jetpack Compose Android App (and Glance Widget) built with Kotlin 2.0

Primary LanguageKotlin

Open-sourcing as I am re-writing (based on a better understanding of Compose) an app I wrote a couple of years ago.

History Calendar app on Google Play Store

Also, creating a follow-along documentation. Mostly for myself, as I realized that I don't remember why I had made certain decisions in the original version of the app. But if it helps someone too, great :) All in early stages, work in progress.

This Day In History is a fully functional Android app, with a companion Glance Widget, built entirely with Kotlin 2.0 and Jetpack Compose. The app allows users to discover what happpened on any particular day with summaries of major events, anniversaries, famous births and notable deaths.
