During November 2024, contributed to the ankidroid/Anki-Android repository by enhancing the deck acquisition process to improve resilience in edge cases. Developed and integrated a manual download fallback for shared decks, allowing users to access a direct download link and open the deck page in a browser when automatic downloads fail. This solution addressed reliability issues in the existing download flow, reducing user friction and supporting a smoother experience. The work involved Android and mobile development with a focus on UI improvements, utilizing Kotlin and Java to implement networking resilience patterns and laying the foundation for future telemetry and broader fallback strategies.
