Hi everyone 👋

My name is Tom and I recently decided that it is time to stop procrastinating starting my own products. I have build many products that have never seen the light of day and today I want to change that with DroidLaunch.

I work as an Android Developer full-time and started to notice the amount of time it takes to do repetitive setup for a project, hence I created a boilerplate for myself (and you too!) to make it easier to get started.

Why another boilerplate? Android is changing rapidly with things being deprecated before they even get properly introduced. A lot of the existing boilerplates that I could find were simply out of date by either still using Java, having outdated dependencies or simply containing a lot of deprecated code. My intention with DroidLaunch is to keep using it as my personal boilerplate, that way I will also keep it up-to-date with the latest Android standards to make it the one-stop-shop for an Android boilerplate. I will do this by not only keeping the product up-to-date myself but also by taking requests so that instead of it just being "my boilerplate", it can become the boilerplate of the community!

Features provided at launch: - Authentication - Room - Navigation - Networking - Validation - In-app purchases - Push notifications - Written documentation - and much more...

Would love to know your thoughts and suggestions!
