I decided to go for kotlin as my first language because I had ideas for a mobile app. I quickly learned that android dev isn’t the best starting point, and I’m not a fan of the lack of choice I have for editors with it. I only really know some basics, I used to know some javascript but forgot it

You are right about android dev being overwhelming, but honestly I think if OP is motivated to make an app, that’s what they should do. The tools will be bizarre and confusing, but they will get something working if they keep trying.

Once they have a barebones app on the screen, every new concept learned will have clear purpose and value, in terms of how it enables a new feature for the app.

Posting Etiquette

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don’t make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don’t ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you’re trying to solve. Don’t focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/
