It helps you log your brews, dial in espresso or pour-overs, and track flavor profiles without getting in your way. The Android app is built with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Supabase, and Cloudflare, and it's finally ready to be published on Google Play! Since I'm getting ready to launch, I'd love to ask you guys: For other ...
