General improvements

[HenryQuan]

The app is still running very nicely even after 6 years, this is simply showcasing how good slai47 was. My app on the other hand is a complete mess... OK, there are defintely some good improvements to add even in 2024 especially with LLMs.

I will list a few in mind:

• More localisation support
• Move to compose via recompose
• Theme update following material 3 Material 3 update #3
  • Light & Dark mode
  • Better UX
  • Themed icon Done
  • Maybe more...
• Move to WoWs-Number instead of Warship.Today
• Update websites and other links

The code side, probably can move to Kotlin if possible, gradles can get updated to kts instead. I still need to understand and learn how the app works using the bus.

Get a quick build here.

I will try to merge the retrofit update and update the logo to be tinted by tracing it manually probably sometime this week. Then, I can continue learning about the overall structure and see what can be done.

App icon is now following the latest standard, and the app now targets Android 14. Everything seems to work, but I will need more testings. Next step, I will move everything to Kotlin and start improving the overall theme to follow material 3.

Next step will be some LLM reviews over the existing code base while working on the material theme. Some parts can be improved quite significantly using Kotlin's syntax suger.
