Howdy to you all on this Tuesday in March #stpatricksday ! Starting the day with releasing my company's #android app and then some support issues. How are you all?

Was working on an Android app with 200+ strings across 70+ strings.xml files and multiple languages. Keeping translations in sync manually was painful.

Google Play Console has translations, but it did not fit my workflow.

built a CLI that translates, verifies, and fixes formatting for Android string files using LLMs.

pip install android-localisation
android-localise translate --api-key YOUR_KEY

Clearly I have been living under the rock! There is "PS5 Cloud streaming" that comes with PS Plus Premium subscription.

I can probably make use of that if they allow #GhostOfYotei 🙏

This is amazing! just found out PS5 Cloud streaming is a thing and the game will be available on launch.

So, if I am getting this right, I can play the game from PC for $25/month!! 🙌🏽

End of an era: Kevin Barry, the original developer of Nova Launcher, is no longer working on the project. The plans to open source the project have also been halted.

Nova Launcher was acquired by analytics company Branch back in 2022.
