Sup was an SMS app for Android. It helped me develop a habit of doing depth-first research of Android APIs and discover my love for motion design. It was also my playground for,
- understanding how unicode works so that I could build a custom emoji picker
- realizing SQL is maximum cool and ORMs are to be avoided
- learning how touch events travel through the View hierarchy
- backporting circular reveal animation from Material design to older versions of Android using custom Canvas drawing
- understanding why there is a limit of 160 characters on an SMS
- learning Ruby on Rails for crowdsourcing data through Sup
