About Droidheim

Droidheim is a place for people who build Android apps. It gathers writing from across the community. You can also browse discussions, look for job openings, and see recent posts from Mastodon and Bluesky.

What you will find

The site covers Android and Kotlin, including Kotlin Multiplatform and on-device AI. Most articles come from blogs and newsletters that developers already publish. Writing and chat are planned for later. For now the site is read-only.

When it started

August 2026.

Goals

• Give the Android community a stable home after it scattered from X.
• Bring Android and Kotlin writing, including on-device AI work, into one feed.
• Make it easier to find discussions and job openings. It should also be simple to follow posts from people in the same field.
• Run a discussion space where messages earn caps, the site's points system. Upvoted comments and posts score higher.
• Keep the site small and independent. Pages are mostly static and the source is open. There is no tracking.

How it is built

Droidheim runs on Cloudflare. The code is open source.

• Hono and TypeScript run on Cloudflare Workers and render HTML on the server.
• HTMX handles small interactions. Markdown content is rendered with marked.
• Cloudflare D1 (SQLite) stores posts, social entries, and jobs. KV stores profiles and feature flags.
• Mastodon, Bluesky, RSS feeds, and JobsPipe are collected by cron within Cloudflare's free tier.
• Cookies store the tab you last used and which posts you have read. There is no tracking or advertising.
