Tweetsy

Tweetsy is a tweets curator app designed to demonstrate Jetpack Compose basics and the MVVM pattern. Rather than fetching tweets directly from Twitter, Tweetsy pulls data from JSONBin.io, a third-party site for hosting JSON data, simplifying API setup and expanding learning opportunities. Features

Category-Based Curation: Curate tweets based on categories.
Offline-Ready: Uses JSONBin.io to pull data, so there’s no need for a direct Twitter API.
Smooth User Experience: Built with Jetpack Compose for a modern, responsive UI.
