I've been hacking on a Bluesky Android native client, jokingly called JerryNo!, but that I silently renamed to Monarch once I realized it could actually go places!

This is my first Android app using new frameworks and libraries, I'm excited to see where it goes.

It's nowhere near ready for day-to-day usage, but I'm dogfooding it already to spot bugs and UX issues.

I'm having lots of fun, so I decided to go back in time and get together a timeline view of my stream of consciousness of these weeks :^)

I don't want Monarch to become an income source, I want to keep it open-source - on Tangled of course.

It took a while but the code looks much better now Kotlin is cool but it still smells too much like java It has Result<> though!
