Hello everyone! 👋

I’m thrilled to share Why Not Compose!, one of my open-source showcase projects today. 🎉

What is “Why Not Compose!”?

It’s a collection of animations, compositions, and UIs built using Jetpack Compose—a sort of Compose cookbook, showcase, or playground. As an early adopter of Jetpack Compose, I’ve always enjoyed exploring its potential. While following official examples like the Now in Android open-source app, I found some implementations a bit complex. So, I was inspired to simplify and reimplement features in my way, storing finalized implementations in this repo.

The result? A repository that not only aids me in daily tasks but also allows me to quickly share implementations with my colleagues. I hope this resource can help you, too! 😊
