1) I have been working towards KMM and https://kotlinlang.org/docs/mobile/integrate-in... has a good guide for the setup changes. Since I am preparing the documentation for the project, if we have confirmation regarding the future of the app regarding this, it would be great and could save us resources.
With your upcoming plans of fastlane as well to the app, I think we are making ground breaking changes to the structure as is and the documentation at this point of time would be really valuable. So a confirmation from your side and the team on whether we want to adopt to KMM for future purposes, would be a good deciding factor right now. No hurry though, I just wanted to bring this up.
2) I have some Search UX designs which I wanted to discuss. I'll have a few mockups ready by Monday and just wanted to know whether you wanted to mention any specifics regarding it.
[musicbrainz-server] 14mwiencek merged pull request #2166 (03master…MBS-11776): MBS-11776: Readd "loading-message" class to the medium loading message https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...
akshaaatt[m]: i don't think KMM is a priority. there aren't really any plans for an iOS app and i don't think its worth it if we can't get the tagger to work on iOS.

<lucifer "akshaaatt: i don't think KMM is "> That is actually a good point. Right

shouldn't bookbrainz stuff bfrom brainzgit actually be in #bookbrainz? didn't we order that just beofre the move anyway
ah, about that mb android app, is there a working version of the newest work?
you remember lucifer how I had you make me testable versions at first :D
will the new thing have its own "place" thing? it'd probably be smarter to have its own namespace so not ot override the other, olderapp
akshaaatt[m]
<ZaphodBeeblebrox "ah, about that mb android app, i"> Hi ZaphodBeeblebrox ! We are in the process of finalizing the app before we do the latest release. So probably a week or so from now, we could have it available!
ZaphodBeeblebrox
probably a good idea to have some time in for updates/usertests/feedback etcetre
etcetra*
also, if you cna akshaaatt[m]: don't use the matrix reply feature unless you're actually replying to an older con ersation
Thanks for the tip! Will take care moving forward 😃
ZaphodBeeblebrox
sure thing :D
and thanks for working on the mobile app!
I really wish we coulda called it "Data" or similar to keep the StarTrex theming (riker, troi,geordi, Picard!)
since it's an Android App!
but people where dead agaisnt it :/
akshaaatt[m]
<ZaphodBeeblebrox "and thanks for working on the mo"> The pleasure is all mine.
Oh my! I was just reading this. Force of habits!
ZaphodBeeblebrox
nh you're doing it again :P
akshaaatt[m]
Maybe I'll ditch matrix for a while then. Need to learn it the hard way haha!
ZaphodBeeblebrox
hah :D
akshaaatt[m]
"Data" as in the MB app?
ZaphodBeeblebrox
that's not necessary though, if matrix works for you
Data as in Lt Commander Data
since all our other mb-enabled things are called after StarTrek characters
akshaaatt[m]
Sounds interesting
ZaphodBeeblebrox
we even had a Next Generation (schema)
akshaaatt[m]
Wow. Pretty cool!
ZaphodBeeblebrox
in desktop picard it doesn't say "ok" in dialogue boxes but "make it so!" since that's what Jan-luc would say
akshaaatt[m]
Oh I've noticed this!
ZaphodBeeblebrox
:D
akshaaatt[m]
It's all making sense now
ZaphodBeeblebrox
ST is getting on a bit. you have to explain it to you young'uns
but i grew up with StarTrek NG
i recomend watching it!
akshaaatt[m]
Adding it to my watchlist asap!
ZaphodBeeblebrox
the first seasons are a bit.. well the special effects are kidna bad. but the stories improve
and everything.
and thne yo uget Deep Space 9 (my mom's fave) and Voyager (devisive of the fanbase, but i loved it)
then there's the original with Spock and Cpt Kirk, Bones, Uhura

I can't belive musicbrainz has completed over 20 years now
Feels like home to me
ZaphodBeeblebrox
I can' believe it's been over 13 years since i signed up
17 years in february :o
it's kinda mental
akshaaatt[m]
Looking at the way things have progressed and how you people have managed it, is so fascinating!
ZaphodBeeblebrox
heh. you shoudl chck out bookbrainz too! stil early days there
but having a book-related app for bb might be interesting
bring in more people. be the what's it called "killer app"
akshaaatt[m]
I really liked bookbrainz and find it super amazing!
I'm up for it if the BB Android app is to be started!
Maybe for next year's GSoC we can add some ideas to the list and focus on people who would like to work on them
For now I think my primary focus is towards MB because I have a deep connection with it and in my mind I see some great stuff happening here, something which I can really contribute towards!
ZaphodBeeblebrox
deffinitly
akshaaatt[m]
ruaok I'm up to host a party for you people (however I can) since July 17th is nearby! 20 years wohooo!
It'll be the 21st year, right this year! Damn the past 2 years have just drifted away!
