Plaid is an Android app that aggregates design news and inspiration from sources like Dribbble and Product Hunt while showcasing Material Design in a real application. It also serves as a reference implementation for modern Android architecture using Kotlin, Android Architecture Components, and modularization.
Use cases
- learn how to implement material design in a real android app
- study a modularized android app architecture example
- see how to migrate an app to android architecture components
- find design news and inspiration on android
- learn dependency injection in a multi-module android project
- reference for converting a java android app to kotlin
When to choose
- you want a real-world example of material design and modern android architecture
- you are learning android architecture components, kotlin, or dynamic feature modules
- you want a design news and inspiration reader on android
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, actively maintained news reader app
- you need a simple starter template rather than a complex showcase app
- you expect the material design UI itself to be the focus of ongoing development
