#### Technical details
|
|
|
|
- Built on Jetpack compose and kotlin multiplatform libraries ktor and sqldelight (although the project is not currently setup to be multiplatform until needed).
|
|
- Greenfield matrix SDK implementation, focus on separation, testability and parallelisation.
|
|
- Heavily optimised build script, clean _cacheless_ builds are sub 10 seconds with a warmed up gradle daemon.
|
|
- Avoids code generation where possible in favour of build speed, this mainly means manual DI.
|
|
- A pure kotlin test harness to allow for critical flow assertions [Smoke Tests](https://github.com/ouchadam/small-talk/blob/main/test-harness/src/test/kotlin/SmokeTest.kt), currently Linux x86-64 only.
