Work in progress

This is UI Clone of Snapchat, which is used to show the power of Jetpack Compose. This a personal project with the goal to learn Clean Architecture with Jetpack compose. I have tried to add all the native components like Camera, Mapview and Exoplayer and showcase as an example.
Jetpack Compose is Android’s modern toolkit for building native UI. It simplifies and accelerates UI development on Android. Quickly bring your app to life with less code, powerful tools, and intuitive Kotlin APIs.

Clean architecture

I am still learing and understanding clean architecture so it might be perfectly correct
In Clean Architecture, instead of relying on Models, you'll communicate with Interactors from the Use Case layer. This layer contains the user interface related code, powered by Android Jetpack! The outer circle represents the concrete mechanisms that are specific to the platform such as networking and database access. Moving inward, each circle is more abstract and higher-level. The center circle is the most abstract and contains business logic, which doesn’t rely on the platform or the framework you’re using.
