Android Blueprints

My architect experience and passion for Android into this project to simplify the creation of a new App for Android. Instead of configuring everything from scratch we can just import or take inspiration from the features of this project.

Computer Science is experimentation, automation and engineering (...).

So, this App is also a playground to experiment new frameworks and new features.
