Distracted dolphin or frolicsome frog? Did you notice that in Raccoon themes are named according to a strange convention? Have you ever wondered why? My latest article explains the localization journey which has brought to this result.

When working on Kotlin Multiplatform apps there are several choices for dependency injection but not all offer the same developer experience. Have a look at my latest blog post to know about what alternatives I used in Raccoon apps and why!

Dependency injection (or DI) has been the backbone of Android development for years, bringing flexibility, easier refactoring, and proper lifecycle management through decoupling and abstraction. But when you venture into Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) territory, the comfortable world of Dagger and Hilt suddenly becomes unavailable.

How can you build modern, cross-platform applications that can keep pace with the rapidly evolving ecosystem of the Fediverse (Mastodon, Lemmy, Friendica, etc.)?
Kotlin and Compose Multiplatform may be an interesting answer! Check out my blog post and stay tuned for more considerations stemming from my experience during the last 2 years maintaining the Raccoon apps.
https://livefasteattrashraccoon.github.io/2025/06/10/building-modern-fediverse-apps.html
The Fediverse represents the future of social media—decentralized, open, and user-controlled. As platforms like Mastodon, Friendica, and Lemmy gain momentum, developers face a crucial question: how do you build modern, cross-platform applications that can keep pace with this rapidly evolving ecosystem?
@raccoonforfriendicaapp version 0.4.1 has been finally released! I was waiting to fix a couple of old issues but I realized I was keeping people waiting too much since almost 2 months had passed since the previous stable version.
If you were on the latest beta, the only new feature is the possibility to see in every timeline the "source platform" each post is coming from (Friendica, Mastodon, Lemmy, Misskey/Sharkey, Pleroma/Akkoma, Kbin/Mbin, WordPress, GNU Social, Pixelfed, Peertube, GoToSocial, Diaspora, generic ActivityPub and more are coming).
If you were using 0.4.0 there are a ton of improvements, the most important of which are:
This version is also available in the production track on Google Play, so you don't have to participate in the beta program any more to get it.
Let me know what you think about it, enjoy your weekend and as always #livefasteattrash

When I opened up Lemmy this morning I could not believe my eyes. The top story was a headline from Forbes stating:
« ‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media ».
The article mostly focused on #Pixelfed and did a fairly good job explaining how #ActivityPub works. But they spelled #Mastodon « Mastadon » over and over again with no links to it. Yikes.
B for the effort, but please editors do better!
