Accept-Language header is used in network requests to inform the languages supported by a client. Until API 23 (6.0), Android supported just one locale and so passing the value for Accept-Language header is straight forward.

My 13” Mac book Pro takes ~4 mins for a clean gradle build of an android app at work, But my colleague’s powerful desktop machine takes only ~50 secs for the same clean debug build. What if I can borrow some processing power from my colleague’s machine to make my builds? That’s the idea behind Mainframer. If this interests you then buckle up and grab a ☕ to go through setup of mainframer

App support is one of the important aspect of every app. But it is often overlooked by indie developers due to time, effort and cost. Even big companies fail to notice the importance of app support.

Audify 2.0 is just released and by coincidence it is also the 100th Playstore release of Audify. I really thank all the users for their constant love and support as it mostly evolved based on the user feedback after the initial release. I would like to take this moment to share some interesting stats about Audify.

A week back, I created a new twitter handle ( @audifyapp ) for Audify. I created it using the Twitter’s official android client and started following people. While doing that, I noticed that Audify’s profile pic was used instead of the Twitter’s default egg profile pic for users who didn’t setup a profile pic. So basically, I have seen many people with Audify’s profile pic.

Started as a weekend exploration. But Audify quickly became a solid pet project and a playground to keep me engaged in my spare time.

I just released a new android app called Audify in the Playstore. In short it reads your notifications and smartly skips the annoying notifications. It took 90 days for me to convert the idea into an app. I want to share the different phases that I have gone through over this period and the lessons I learned.
