First Google Play release in a week
A Kotlin age calculator: five days of code, a public listing eight days after the first commit.
FromFindAgeThe first Kotlin app took five days to write and was on Google Play four days later: an age calculator with a custom numeric keyboard and a shake on invalid input. Small on purpose, so that the store process itself was the thing being learned.
What took the time was not the code. It was the listing copy, the privacy policy without a website to host it, and the screenshots. Keeping the store text in a public README next to the source turned out to be the simplest way to maintain it.
