January 2025 (2025-01) monthly summary for aniyomiorg/aniyomi: Key features delivered: - Extension Update Notification Navigation: Refactored to direct users to the correct manga/anime extension tab after updates, improving post-update navigation. (Commit 161471d94a2350c0c983eeeccd3b7ac0dc66d429) - Extended Brightness Range and Dimming UI: Added support for negative brightness values, introduced a BrightnessOverlay and updated BrightnessSlider, and clamps in PlayerViewModel to enable dimming beyond the previous minimum. (Commit fa1b1547913e80689e5a181ada673c6e71b66edb) - Codebase Maintenance: Style cleanup for Anime data class constants to align with the formatter, plus renaming the default branch from master to main across configuration and docs. (Commits 20cb52c6e09827aa5f0ed21b492c30d045e40240 and db018bbc20f037c31be50f4f80ec2d326bf7511f) Major bugs fixed: - Skip Intro Disable Flag Handling: Fixed the issue where the +85s skip intro button was incorrectly disabled when the length was 0 by introducing a disable flag and updating skip intro length logic in the player. (Commit 9773a9105cc64be19d6a2e42601bf8fca9f55c5c) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Business value: Smoother extension update flows, more reliable playback controls, and extended UI customization options translate to higher user satisfaction and retention, while modernizing the codebase reduces maintenance overhead. - Technical impact: Implemented user-facing feature changes, robust UI state handling, and code hygiene improvements that facilitate future enhancements and easier onboarding for new contributors. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Kotlin/Android development, UI/UX improvements, and playback control logic (negative brightness, dimming). - Code quality and tooling: Spotless-style formatting, repository hygiene, and Git practices (branch rename to main).
