Stacklane

Native Android apps, Kotlin + Jetpack Compose end-to-end, shipped through Play Console on a cadence.

Android apps that feel native because they are native. Kotlin throughout, Jetpack Compose for the UI, the same backend the web client uses for the network, and a Play Console release pipeline that doesn't bottleneck on one person.

What we build

  • Jetpack Compose as the default UI layer

    Declarative UI, composable previews, theming via Material 3 with brand tokens layered on top. The legacy XML view system stays for the components where it earns it (camera surfaces, complex collection performance).

  • Typed networking against the same backend

    Retrofit + kotlinx.serialization with types generated from the same OpenAPI spec the web and iOS clients use. A backend rename is a compile error on every client; the surfaces stay in lockstep.

  • Material 3 with brand tokens layered on

    Dynamic color disabled where the brand earns it; static color tokens applied at the theme layer. Components feel Material; the brand feels Stacklane.

  • Real-device testing through Firebase Test Lab

    CI runs the test suite on a matrix of real devices (Pixel, Samsung, lower-end mid-range), not just emulators. The bugs that show up on a specific OEM's skin get caught before Play Review sees them.

  • Play Console release pipeline

    Internal track for engineers, closed beta for stakeholders, staged production rollout for users. Crashlytics feeds back into the next bug-fix release. No 'wait three days for Play to approve' surprises.

  • Background work via WorkManager

    Push notifications via FCM, background sync via WorkManager with proper constraints, foreground services where they earn it. Android's lifecycle rules respected; battery drain reports stay clean.

Where this fits

  1. You need an Android app that's actually Android, not a React Native wrapper that feels uncanny on Material.

  2. Your existing Android app is on XML views and feels frozen in 2019; the rewrite to Compose is overdue.

  3. Your release cadence is bottlenecked on one Android contractor and the next person can't read what they shipped.
