Hi everyone 👋
My name is Tom and I recently decided that it is time to stop procrastinating starting my own products. I have build many products that have never seen the light of day and today I want to change that with DroidLaunch.
I work as an Android Developer full-time and started to notice the amount of time it takes to do repetitive setup for a project, hence I created a boilerplate for myself (and you too!) to make it easier to get started.
Why another boilerplate? Android is changing rapidly with things being deprecated before they even get properly introduced. A lot of the existing boilerplates that I could find were simply out of date by either still using Java, having outdated dependencies or simply containing a lot of deprecated code. My intention with DroidLaunch is to keep using it as my personal boilerplate, that way I will also keep it up-to-date with the latest Android standards to make it the one-stop-shop for an Android boilerplate. I will do this by not only keeping the product up-to-date myself but also by taking requests so that instead of it just being "my boilerplate", it can become the boilerplate of the community!
Features provided at launch: - Authentication - Room - Navigation - Networking - Validation - In-app purchases - Push notifications - Written documentation - and much more...
Would love to know your thoughts and suggestions!

Websites like speedtest.net, fast.com and etc do provide measurement in megabits, and even with that, speedtest.net provides it between you and your ISP(mostly) only. So if you want to download something from lets say, YouTube, the speed will be slightly different because now you're connecting to Google's server, not your ISP's server. This is because speedtest.net has partnership with ISPs so that speedtest.net... Source: 7 months ago

Hi there. I definitely understand the frustration with slow download speeds. Are you able to run a speed test on speedtest.net to see what results you are getting on that computer? Are you having slow speeds on all devices or just this computer particularly? ^David. Source: 7 months ago
