Are you currently working on an open source project with the #BigBone Mastodon library for Java and Kotlin? If so, I'd love to hear from you. Please send me the link to the project website, the app store entry or the code repository. I am happy to feature it in our README.md if you want.

A new snapshot for #BigBone is out. A lot of great stuff has been added once again. One of the highlights this time for sure is the refactoring of the streaming API code which is now based on the WebSocket protocol. Thanks to all who have contributed!

Just noticed: The ktlint-gradle project is looking for interested people that would like to take over some work from the current maintainers, due to time constraints.

As the name suggests, it is a Gradle plugin for linting Kotlin code. You could slowly start to ramp up (e.g. by reviewing pull requests, helping with releases, etc...). If you're looking for a new project to dive in, this is your chance.

We're about to introduce ADRs (Architectural Decision Records) in #BigBone to keep track of our design decisions. Doing so, we can always remind ourselves why a certain decision was taken (even years later) and it provides a nice track record for new developers to better understand why things are done in a certain way.

More on ADRs here:

Now as #Hacktoberfest is over, we have started to prepare the next snapshot for #BigBone. It contains lots of exciting new features and improvements but also some breaking changes along the lines. Because of this, we take some additional time to document them as good as possible to make your transition from the previous snapshot to the new one as painless as possible.

Stay tuned!

Today we have added 8 more #Hacktoberfest issues for the #BigBone library project. If you feel like contributing to a small but cutting-edge Kotlin library, feel free to grab an issue and contribute to it.

Don't worry if you get stuck, we'll be happy to help.

Straight to the issues:

We also happily accept other ideas of improving our code base. So let's get started 🚀🙂

Big times for #BigBone ❤️ Lots of changes are merged into the code repo.

Next change that is merged into the repo is the replacement of Google Gson with the Kotlin X serializer.

Also, we're working on improving error reporting capabilities.

More things to come! Thanks to contributors @PattaFeuFeu @gioooxi and @bocops

We're currently investigating a case where a #BigBone library user is having issues creating an instance of our client. He's using Android Studio Giraffe and his app is running in the emulator.

I wonder if any other Android devs have run into some similar issues?

Side note: Our client needs to perform a REST API call during initialization in order to setup itself.

Thanks for any advice 👍🏻

I still have an open issue on my table to write integration tests for #BigBone against a locally running Mastodon instance.

What I do is a bit hacky, but it works more or less. I spin up all the services in Docker containers (web, streaming, sidekiq, postgres, even an nginx for TLS!) and after this, inject data into Postgres tables of the Mastodon instance to seed test data.

I wonder if there are better ways of doing this

Here's my code:

I am excited to see a sudden increase in traffic coming to the #BigBone repository. We're in the middle of #Hacktoberfest so I guess this is the reason. May the pull requests come! Happy hacking! 🙂
