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

Seems to be working now. Just a bug I guess in the app

Chris Sinco @c5inco.bsky.social · 4d

Unfortunately hasn’t been a priority for the team

Is this feed still live?

It’s also a third party plugin, so it’d likely require a security review, and someone to constantly build, merge, and monitor the sources, which doesn’t have the highest ROI given one can easily install it from the marketplace.

Thank you for trying Agent Mode! By chance, do you remember what version of Android Studio you were using and was it the Default Model?

I also have similar issues on my new iPad mini…

Chris Sinco @c5inco.bsky.social · 10d

Even Apple apps have issues, like Messages. (the shape clipping jank though is hidden in practice since this is from the screen recording)

Nope. Brand new iPhone 17 Pro

Some gems after 12h of usage. Blur and contrast jank in so many places

Designers when an android engineer ask to just use the system back arrow: “our custom back arrow is an expression of our brand, we cannot yield to looking like a Google app”

Designers when Liquid Glass looks like shit everywhere in their app: “LEROY JENKINSSSSSSS”

To President Trump, the veracity of statistics and scorekeepers can turn on a dime. When data works in his favor, he praises, repeats and often exaggerates the figures. When the numbers on crime or the economy run counter to his narrative, they are frequently deemed “fake,” “phony” and a “fraud.”

For Trump, Data Is Often ‘Phony,’ Unless It Supports His Views

The president has ping-ponged between boasts about jobs and crime and attacks on their data sources. Here’s how he is threatening trust in public data.

Yes this plugin exists already! plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/24198... it’s more or less the same plugin implementation as the one AI plugin bundled in Android Studio, but slightly different backend.

Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.

TIL about Groypers. Oh boy.

Chris Sinco @c5inco.bsky.social · 27d

I see. So you are using the Default Model? Would it be possible to send a screenshot of your IDE? It’s not clear from your description what “suggestion not close at all” means.

Friday thought: I should make overnight oats more

Agreed, assistance with refactoring of deprecated methods would be amazing, esp since Android tends to have to deal with this often 😅😣
