Project B
well said, will get back to this at the end of the semester
since I reached my token limit, let me say sth about this.
Well, I started saying “life is unpredictable” since 1st year (wasn’t alone, @must_Code was there too 😁). I never imagined I’d end up in Adama (ASTU), but somehow life took me there in the most “unpredictable” way possible.
At first, I hated every single day of it. I kept saying, “I wasn’t supposed to be here,” and constantly asked God why. But that feeling didn’t last long. Slowly, I started loving the place, and suddenly life started making sense again.
1st year was fun, new friends, getting closer with old classmates (@must_Code and that huge guy 😂), a completely new environment. Academic pressure wasn’t that serious yet. Freshman year was just memories, laughter, and vibes.
2nd year… mehhh
It ended in the blink of an eye.
3rd year? Well, 3rd year is “Agelgil.” It had everything.
So many unforgettable memories, some of my lowest moments, and a lot of growth. I saw myself changing and progressing in so many ways.
Through all these years, one thing stayed constant, God’s love. I experienced it in every high and low. Even when I doubted Him, He still showed me mercy and love.
Like I said, back in freshman year, I really questioned everything, but you know:
“ለእናንተ የማስባትን አሳብ እኔ አውቃለሁ፤ ፍጻሜና ተስፋ እሰጣችሁ ዘንድ የሰላም አሳብ ነው እንጂ የክፉ ነገር አይደለም።”
— ኤርምያስ 29፥11
And honestly, I’ve seen it for myself.
At this point, I can’t imagine myself anywhere else. This place and the people around me really helped shape who I am today. And yes, I still have a lot to improve on and achieve.
So yeah… sometimes the unexpected path turns into something beautiful.

Verse of the year. Got me through a lot

Project B
We are here. Replaced dummy data and setup retrofit, coroutines and a viewmodel Don't mind the setting icon (too lazy to replace it with bookmark icon). I couldn't find in the default one that's why but for sure will be swapped
Was busy with another project. I couldn't do much here but played with navigation a bit.

Implemented local database for offline access. It really gave me hard time with all the dependency stuff and syncing the project again and again but we go on ⚡️

waaazzzupppp, Time to share (I guess).
I spent a long time feeling totally lost with Android development. But a few weeks ago, while I was preparing (or whatever you call it😂) for my "Mobile Architecture" final exam, something actually started making sense. I’ve always learned best by just building, so I decided to work on Pulse.
I’ve always wanted a simple way to keep up with trending tech articles, so I built Pulse to curate the top ones, get AI summaries, and save for offline reading.
It’s a very simple app, but building it taught me so much:
* Designing with Jetpack Compose & Material 3.
* Structuring apps with MVVM.
* Making things work offline using Room.
* Diving into the full stack with Express/TS & Postgres to implement the curation.
* Integrating Gemini AI for instant insights.
The process was fun and challenging at the same time and of course will continue updating it. If you want to take a look at the code or try the app out yourself, you can download the APK and check the repo here:

I spent an hour trying to debug a logical error just because I accidentally made the util function async (accepted the inline suggestion) 😭 and also Idk for some reason console.log wasn't working and suddenly it worked
