I've ported Jetpack Compose to Rust and my post got removed for "low effort" from r/rust. That's not about slop but more about preserving the status of things like they were when every code line mean to be typed on a keyboard with physical fingers and from the human brain.

btw I've set up the nightly benchmarks on my ui framework and it's beaten all of the current ones. Because old-era human frameworks can't afford to crunch optimizations non stop 24/7 like ai agents can.

I'm porting Jetpack Compose to Rust. The Rust would be the future default ai language. Having the familiar well designed by Google UI API will help Android developers to be in a loop. https://github.com/samoylenkodmitry/Cranpose

Hi, I am an Android Developer with 9+ years of work experience, last 2 years working remotely. I am preferably interested in Android remote positions. My second interest is to jump Android ship into some Rust development, so I learn it as a hobby. Also, Compose Multiplatform projects are very attractive to me.

I wrote some scripts that I bind to hotkeys: speech to text, answer the text from clipboard https://github.com/samoylenkodmitry/Linux-AI-Assistant-scrip...

Wrote some similar scripts for my Linux setup, that I bind with XFCE keyboard shortcuts:

F1 - ask ChatGPT API about current clipboard content F5 - same, but opens editor before asking num+ - starts/stops recording microphone, then passes to Whisper (locally installed), copies to clipboard

I find myself rarely using them however.
