Inspired by this article, I built a small tool in Compose Desktop to more easily iterate through building fancy mesh gradients from @sinasamaki.com's Modifier recipe! Code is here github.com/c5inco/Mesh with the code export assuming you are using the same Modifier recipe

PSA: if you ever used API keys in Opencode you may want to monitor or revoke those keys immediately. Seems a legacy system was hacked overnight. I saw my Open AI, Anthropic, and Google AI spend alerts all fire off before going to bed wondering what was going on.

Happy Monday @androiddevs.bsky.social! Need Material Expressive inspiration? Just ask Opus. Here are 10 beautiful, one-shot samples that I was able to generate over the last week with a directed design prompt (see Specifications section). m3e.c5inco.dev

Opus 5.5 on High motion reel with native #Android Kotlin and Jetpack Compsoe. Aka you don’t need to settle for web or xplat tech on mobile.

I started reimplementing nice iOS and web UI showcases in Compose for desktop, together with @csinco.com. They're vibe coded, because the point is "anyone can do this today if they want to". You can find them on github.com/rock3r/biopa..., and we'll keep on growing it!

Android Studio finally gets embedded browser power 🚀 This is a big unlock for all Android developers and plugin authors! Embedded web browser (JCEF) in Android Studio just got a lot more real 👉 tool windows, auth flows, onboarding, browser-powered plugin UX. platform.jetbrains.com/t/experiment...

I love AI coding simply for the fact I can ask it to get any old webpack based app to run on 8 year old dependencies in under 5 min 🤪

The Dow is below 50,000 so I guess they had no other choice but to start a war

Currently we aren’t allowed to use most if not any 3P AI coding tools at Google, not even Antigravity w/o constraints. So I decided to just build my own agent manager that I can vibe code in above board because it’s 2026 and I can, like many motivated builders out there.

YouTube clips has a weird way of getting to you to play old games again. Playing Fallen Order now since I never finished it. And Jedi Survivor is only $10 for a limited time on PSN!

Come and chat with us on Feb 5th 😊 we'll (try to) answer your questions about Gemini in Android Studio, and share some tips & tricks 👩‍🔬 With @josealcerreca.bsky.social, @astamato.bsky.social, @nosuid.bsky.social, Joe Birch and a few more! Join in → goo.gle/3O7dfk0

An investment firm tied to the United Arab Emirates purchased nearly half of the Trump family’s cryptocurrency company last year, making the family business partners with the UAE even as President Trump negotiated foreign policy matters with the Middle Eastern nation.

New survey from Pew 🧵 Trump's approval is down to 37. He's 24 points underwater. Only 27% of Americans support most/all of Trump's policies. By two-to-one margins, Americans say the Trump administration has made their life worse, not better.

Definitely a hardware bug with Liquid Glass 😂

@nytimes.com JUST SAY IT IN PLAIN ENGLISH. LIES. THEY ARE CALLED LIES.

🚀 Android Studio Otter 3 Feature Drop is out 🚀 It brings A LOT of new & stable features, like Bring Your Own Model, Journeys, and many Compose dev AI tools 🥳 Check out the release blog, try them out and please submit feedback 🙏 android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/01/llm-...

The official message of the U.S. government to ICE is if you kill an American citizen while trying to deport brown people, not only will we cover it up but we will try to jail their spouse instead. We all died during COVID and this is hell.

BREAKING: Iran has expressed concern over the human rights situation in Minneapolis and urged ICE to not harm protesters x

Slowly coming to grips with the fact American voters chose this twice because they taught it would lower the price of eggs.

And now I have a Codex $20 sub. Lol

Decided to cancel my Cursor sub for now. With Antigravity and a Claude Code Pro sub, and paying for a Gemini API key (mainly for Android Studio), I think I'm covered. ;)

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

PSA — go and click that refresh button to get Gemini 3 Flash ;)

Gemini 3 vs Android Studio: Can I build an app in 1 hour without writing ANY code? ⏱️ ​I tried "Vibe Coding" a Collections Tracker and the result was surprisingly good. ​Check out the full workflow: youtu.be/j7Yha-KTcwE ​#AndroidDev #GeminiAI #NoCode

Lol. I think Claude Code deleted my ~/Src directory. No idea how to verify it though.

Quick prototype via Gemini 3 Flash: snapping the Running Devices tool window to the device width in @androidstudio.bsky.social. Drives me crazy that I currently have to manually resize the window with my mouse.

For those maxing out your Claude usage for the holidays, check out Air (air.dev) - an agent manager UI from @jetbrains.com, built on top of Claude Code, with some extra IDE goodies like code editing and navigation. It's still in preview, but another nice option to have for agentic coding!

Me: "Please update my .gitignore" AI: "Sure, and I'll commit and push to GitHub"

And got around to quickly updating Cloudy Blue for you light theme folks out there! Thanks to @evowizz.dev for the nudge ;) plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26889...

#AndroidDev things I’ve found little success with agents: debugging recomposition issues, coordinating complex gestures and scrolling, and one-shotting great looking Material UI without a mockup 😅

@androidstudio.bsky.social Panda Panda Panda Panda Panda Panda Panda Panda canary is out! Happy holidays everyone! 🐼🎄

Lol had a feeling

It's been a great day so far testing Gemini 3 Flash in @androidstudio.bsky.social Agent Mode 🤌

I really love the audio of the Pixel Buds case. Much more soothing than AirPods.
