coroutines x retrofit
This is a quick test project to implement Retrofit using Kotlin's coroutines.
The project is a normal MVVM Android app. The app pulls a list of categories available from freebbble.com, using WordPress's REST API. Specifically, it's calling for http://freebbble.com/wp-json/wp/v2/categories/
Being called using Retrofit, that URL path returns a JSON array of categories. For simplicity sake, the app then picks the first Category and displays its link property on the app.

Here's what the app might show when being run properly:
