About Droidheim

Droidheim is a central place for the Android development community: technical articles, discussions, job openings, and a feed of what matters — all in one corner of the web.

What it is for

Long-form posts about Android, Kotlin, KMP, mobile software patterns, and on-device AI, alongside a community that reads, discusses, and (later) writes. The site is read-first for now; writing and chat features are planned, not yet built.

When it was founded

August 2026.

Objectives

• Provide a central home for the Android community after the great scattering from X.
• Publish and aggregate high-quality Android, Kotlin, and on-device AI content.
• Connect people: discussions, job openings, and a social feed of notable voices using #droidheim.
• Host community discussions where every message earns caps (droid caps) — the site's points system — upvoted comments and posts score higher.
• Stay open and lightweight — static-first, no tracking, community-owned.

Tech stack

Droidheim runs on the edge, fully open source:

• Hono + TypeScript on Cloudflare Workers — server-rendered HTML, no SPA.
• HTMX for the few dynamic bits, Markdown (marked) for content.
• Cloudflare D1 (SQLite) stores posts, social feed, and jobs; KV keeps profiles and feature flags.
• Content ingests from Mastodon, Bluesky, RSS feeds, and the JobsPipe API via cron — everything on the Cloudflare free tier.
• Read state, tabs, and preferences travel in cookies; no tracking, no advertising.
