Open sourcing our Android and iOS apps

When it comes to Android, Java by itself is the least of problems. It's the SDK and framework that are tricky, ridden with technical debt and often far from developer-friendly.

I was about to say this. In fact, you have to unlearn a lot of what works and is accepted in server side java when you move to Android. Learning the SDK and Android gotchas was by far the hardest part of my first Android app.

Yes Android is particularly complicated, but not to the point where 3 experienced developers building an app in 8 months is in any way remarkable.
