Fragmented - Android Developer Podcast

In this episode of Fragmented, Kaushik dives into the importance of creating your own starter template to streamline app development and minimize decision fatigue. He shares insights from his own starter template - Playground Android.

Looking to the future, JetBrains has an exciting tool called Amper that might make all of this much easier. Kaushik chats with JetBrains’ Márton Braun about Amper, an exciting new tool that could revolutionize Kotlin & Android project setups.
