BLOCKKED

An Android companion for blockchain.info, written in Kotlin for demo purposes

Overview

This project is a simple demo for retrieving some Blockchain.info data and presenting dashboards with latest Bitcon statistics, such average prices, mempool size, hashrates and so on.

This app has support for both portrait and landscape modes, as well offline caching. This project is HEAVILY tested, and I think that it is a showcase on how we can achieve great level of confidence based on good architectural decisions.

This project is 100% written in Kotlin.
