Horizon

A blog app.

Idea:

This is a blog app, where the user can post about various topics and others can read it, like it, comment on it and bookmark it. While posting a new blog, an image is required along with title and content of the blog. The design of the app is similar to Instagram.

Architecture pattern:

• MVVM Architecture with a single Viewmodel and Repository.

Libraries and frameworks used:

• Dagger Hilt - for dependency injection.
• Navigation Component - Main Activity hosts several fragments.
• Coil - for image loading.
• Paging 3 - for pagination of posts.
• Image cropper library by the artofdev - for cropping images while editting profile image.

Backend:
