How can I render PDFs without relying on third-party tools, while having full control over the UI so I can work with it as needed?

I’m exploring ways to render PDFs in an Android app without relying on third‑party libraries or services. Most existing solutions (like PDF.js wrappers, MuPDF, or commercial SDKs) either lock me into their UI components or limit how much control I have over the rendering pipeline.

What I’m aiming for is:

Full control over the UI so I can design custom interactions (highlighting, annotations, custom navigation).
Direct access to the PDF content so I can mine over it, for example, e...

Moving from C++ NDK key management to Firebase for runtime code protection suggestions?

Hi all,

I’m working on an Android app that has some security mechanisms to protect the USP. Currently, the app requires a key at runtime to unlock certain code paths—not an API key, but something the app uses internally to run code.

So far, I’ve been using C++ NDK to manage the key, but I’m considering moving this to Firebase. I’m not entirely sure how best to approach it.

Some context:

The app is in development and will launch soon. I’m targeting ~5k active users in the first year.
We’v...

From a forgotten Telegram Bot to $1,000+ MRR: My Vibe Coding Journey with 3 Apps

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share my story of how I crossed the $1,000 MRR mark with my "vibe apps" (2 on Android, 1 on iOS). It’s been a wild ride of pivoting, AI coding, and learning marketing on the fly. This is Part 1, covering the early days and the first major pivot.
