lexwilliam / risuto

Another unofficial MalClient made using Kotlin with Jetpack Compose and JikanAPI For the anime data.

Risuto

Risuto is my first android application that i build using Jetpack Compose which is easy to use and makes everything faster to develop. The reason i build this app is to learn from the basics (ex: caching and rest api) to advanced things like dependency injection, multi-module structure, etc. And also because althrogh i really like the website design, i didn't really like the official mal app ui design. So i want to make this app as beautiful as possible. All of the anime data comes from MyAnimeList for anime detail and authentication with MAL account and using JikanAPI to call more data from MyAnimeList Website

Preview

You can download the preview of the app in the Release Page. This app is still on alpha so there will be bugs and the look of will not be consistent

Also available in Light Mode

Project Structure

This project is a multi module project and build with package by layer strategy. Which mean there are 3 main layer: data, domain, presentation. I learn it in ferPrieto spaceX project : https://github.com/ferPrieto/SpaceX-prepare-for-Clean-Architecture-liftoff

Libraries

The libraries i use are:

• Jetpack Compose
• Hilt
• Room
• Retrofit
• Moshi
• Paging3
• Coil
• Accompanist-Coil
• Accompanist-Insets
• Accompanist-FlowLayout
• Accompanist-SwipeRefresh
• Splash-Screen

risuto's Issues

Login button cropped

The login button is cropped on my device.
When i press at the very bottom of the screen it takes me to the mal site and ask for Authorization.
After that it works well.
Device: Lenovo K8 Note ( Android 8 )

Some suggestions

I think it will be better if the poster of the anime is in middle of the screen. It looks weird in the very right.
Hide the activity text like completed/10
When scrolling through the information about the anime

Release date?

I'm very eager to try your app! Any ETA? Or maybe share the beta apk?

Suggestion: Adding profile page would be good in My List page

It really would be good, if it'd have profile like in official mal app , but with better interface.

For example, clicking the profile picture on "My List" next to nickname, will open the profile page.

This is MAL's official app's profile page... (Ugh ....)

And that's the AL-chan's (One of Anilist app) Unofficial app's profile page.

And that's the stats page of AnYme X

I didn't see any unofficial apps of MAL has profile page, so having in Risuto will be good, I think.

The design is up to you, but i do not know if MAL's API allows you to get those datas. Maybe Unofficial one (Jikan) does it...

Suggestions #2

Instead of showing "Score" besides "watching/on hold".
It will be better to display the number of episodes you have watched like " watching 8/12" and move the score on top of the poster. Same with on-hold,dropped category.

Also add something like this in the watching section

Will be easier to add/deduct episodes quickly.

Is there a way to download this app?

Or will you add this app to play store? Release date when? I can't wait to download this app.

Doesn't show some anime informations

Like this.
(the quintessential quintuplets season 2)
and
(the quintessential quintuplets season 2)
or
this
(Kamisama no Memochou, i didn't watch this anime yet.)

I don't know if it's happening because of my list.
