It would be nice if Mastodon's Android client weren't written and maintained by a crank who is unable to collaborate effectively or distinguish between good and bad dependencies. (Same problem, honestly)
@billjings I did a personal project like this many years ago when Kotlin imposed a big compile-time penalty. I somewhat want to revive the project and do a Pepsi challenge between plain-java and Kotlin+AndroidX versions. I would never do this with anything other than toy projects tho bc no one would want to collaborate with me.

Fork or be forked!
Fun to see folks getting adventurous with AndroidX.
Less fun to see then being obnoxious
