Your personal command center for video games – manage backlog, capture discoveries, track game progress.
STATUS: In active development
~$ cat ./description.txt
MyGamingList is a native Android application that I'm developing as a personal key project to demonstrate and deepen my skills in modern Android development with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. The app aims to provide gamers with an intuitive tool to organize their game collection, wish lists, and game progress.
The idea emerged from my own need to keep track of a growing gaming backlog and not lose sight of interesting titles. The focus is on a clear, user-friendly interface and useful features that make a gamer's everyday life easier.

Challenge:
Efficient data persistence and synchronization for an offline-first experience.
Solution:
Use of Room DB with well-thought-out Dao queries and Coroutines for asynchronous database access. Planning for later, optional cloud synchronization.
Challenge:
Designing an intuitive and appealing user interface with Jetpack Compose from scratch.
Solution:
Iterative design, use of Material 3 components and intensive study of declarative UI programming and state management in Compose.
