Update on what's going on

Few months ago I posted this update

A little update about NF Companion platform

It’s been about 2 months now there has been no update to NF Companion app, nor the iOS app has been released. Why? You ask. Let me clear that up. So if you guys remember, when this new forum was launched, things were going at quite a fast pace. We had new forum, redesigned bits and pieces of app, new devices manager screen, linking donation version, and the awesome community section of the app. Also my.nfcompanion.com (which now seems to be forever stuck on Work in progress). So basically I hav…

So where I am now? How much progress is made?

If you read the post you’ll know I was having problems getting the right setup. And I still haven’t found the optimal solution, there are things that work, but not as perfect as I want them to be. So after long research and much thought, I’ll be doing this the easy way, it will be a little bit less flexible, but it will get the job done.

What’s that? Very simple sync of the database using Google Drive API. Everything is handled by Google so my work is reduced by 90%

My main focus was just this all along this time, but I did add a few features in the app here and there just to keep things fresh.

I was also preparing the app to be more lean and fast. Removed lot of old and slow code. Basically the whole app was rewritten in Kotlin. And the performance improvements are quite visible.

So yeah, that’s about it for now. Have a nice day/night.
