Jetpack Compose Tutorials and Playground

🤓 Overview

Series of Tutorials to learn about Jetpack Compose, Material Widgets, State, Animation, and Navigation. Easy to search in code and in app. Each chapter module contains its own content in code. SearchBar can be used to search with a tag or description available for each tutorial.

Recommended section is under constructions for now, when finished it will get recommended tags using previous searches using a database, domain with ViewModel.
