In good company. Thank you @androiddevs.bsky.social 💚! android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/07/five...

AI has made me so productive. I'm now abandoning a new side project every month instead of one a year.

Block moved all its documents to Notion two years ago. Huge upgrade over Confluence, but a lot of us still don't love it because it keeps trying to be an operating system instead of just... being a good document editor. www.notion.com/product/ship...

Introducing Touch Robot, something that has materially changed how I write screenshot tests. We've been using it at Block for ~2 years to catch animation and gesture bugs that static screenshots miss. saket.me/touch-robot/

Introducing Touch Robot, for writing interactive screenshot tests in Compose UIThe best parts of a UI are usually in motion. The bugs are too.saket.me

The new Snapseed update is quite nice 🤌 play.google.com/store/apps/d...

Using an on-hover animation for showcasing large screen support is so satisfying. Credits: www.aviate.to

Google Keep's recent update offloaded reminders to Google Tasks, and it's been such a massive downgrade because they constantly go out of sync. I loved Keep, but I'll have to switch. What are people using these days to manage their todos?

I built a tiny IntelliJ IDEA plugin for something that had been bothering me for years github.com/saket/intell...

After 2.5y of development, github.com/saket/teleph... is nearing ~600 screenshot tests that verify all possible combinations of usages. It's one of the most thoroughly tested UI libraries you'll find for Android. Shout out to my friends at emulator.wtf without whom this wasn't possible!

It's interesting how clearly Google vs Apple shows up in something as small as virtual devices frames. iOS simulator: sharp, natively rendered Android emulator: transparent PNG, rough corners with jagged edges

TIL about android's "time to take action" accessibility setting

The answer was no, so I'm building this myself as v2 of github.com/saket/swipe. Here's a first draft:

Did Google ever release this swipe component as part of Material Design?

Most of you have heard about Block's 40% layoffs by now, but the numbers are even worse. Engineering was hit harder, we've lost close to 70% of our engineers. Our leadership is plagued by false promises of "intelligence". The company you once knew as a prolific OSS contributor no longer exists.

CSS-inspired media queries in Compose UI 👀 android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/f...

Looks like Compose UI is finally addressing a long-standing issue on Android where the experience of scrolling nested lists hasn't felt as good as on iOS. issuetracker.google.com/issues/26962...

After six beautiful years in Kitchener-Waterloo, we are moving to Seattle. Grateful for the people and memories that made this place home. Hoping it feels like home too.

🪞New blog post about link previews. Which you're seeing as a link preview. Very meta.

Generating rich link previews 10x fasterMy library was hilariously inefficient. 500KB down to 32KB, all because I finally RTFM'd the docs.saket.me
