I tried my hand at an Android app.. the experience made me feel stupid. There's so much boilerplate and yet none of them guides you towards any sensible app architecture. I'm a systems programmer, but I was able to pick up Vue and Bootstrap and cobble together a functional dev UI in a week, despite not knowing JavaScript. I tried and failed with vanilla Android Studio, then decided to try the "Android Jetpack" guides which led me to third-party libraries with broken codegen. It's just not fun, you know? Apps should be fun to make.
