In this repository you'll find a classic list/detail application. Code is messy, full of weakness and so outdated in terms of Android best practices. You mission is improving it as you want. Check it out, detect defects and try to solve them. Dealing with legacy code is endless task, so if you don't have enough time for apply all changes you'd like, please write it down and let us know.
⚠️ Please don't start project from scratch. You must iterate over current codebase. Fork the repository and send us your improved version.

If you feel stuck and don't know how to start, there are some areas could be improved:
- We're Kotlin first!
- Still using Asyntask!
- It seems like no SOLID principle is respected.
- Too many responsabilities in the Activities. Split it out!
- Just showing first 20 characters. Could network call be paginated?
- UI is pretty simple. Show character's image!
- There are no test 💩
We hope you enjoy dealing with 🍝 code!
