Kotlin ~ React Native ~ Flutter

I want to expand a bit more on my previous comment, but first, we have to go back to late 2016… when I started developing WoWs Info using Swift 2. Read more in details here about the overall timeline. Skip to Kotlin if not interested in the rest. React Native, Xamarin, Flutter I never mentioned why React Native was chosen over Xamarin and Ionic and only said it was a shortcut....

What happened with WoWs Info?

WoWs Info is an important chapter in my life. I started the development in early February 2017 during my uni life. At some point, I put too much time and effort into it and ended up failing multiple courses at UNSW. It was responsibility, I had to be responsible for my users. Maybe, I pushed it too far. It was a great lesson for me. Sometimes, I need to put down, the so called responsibility....

AnimeGo ~ Road to Desktop

With the latest release of Flutter, Windows is officially supported, and this is a great LEAP of Flutter. However, the road to desktop is not simple.

AnimeGo was first created in late 2017, and it was only meant for Android. React Native was used for development, and the app was not that good....

Reminiscence ~ 8 years of programming

8 years ago in Singapore, I went to the post office with my guardian to pick up my parcel from Beijing. It had several things in it and the most important thing was the C Primer Plus book. I had been waiting for a few weeks. 8 years later in Sydney, programming is now my career. This is something I couldn’t imagine when I started programming 8 years ago. Today marks the 8th anniversary of programming....

The End of WoWs Info?

I haven’t committed to WoWs Info since Jul 14, 2020 except for personal rating on the API branch so you might ask, “Am I abandoning this project?”. There were several occasions where I wanted to stop but I didn’t. Did it worth it at all? Before answering this question, we have to go back to 2016. March 2016 I registered my Wargaming account on March 3, 2016. This was the start of everything....
