@grishka @rakyll The good thing about small and simple apps is you don't need an entire zoo full of monkeys to maintain them. Are you using Compose or regular XML definitions?

@mike805 @rakyll XML. And I don't use Kotlin or any libraries written in it.

@grishka @rakyll After my experiences with Kotlin and Compose, which basically consisted of trying to beat it into submission so it would do what it was told, I am inclined to go back and learn the XML approach if I want to write another app.

It wound up about 3.5 MB, which isn't TOO bad, but I think it could be smaller without Compose. I saw a 100+ MB app for a connected light bulb, which earned the bulb a bad Amazon review.
