The Android collection / Vol. I
Ancient ideas.
Modern systems.
A growing collection of Android apps, inspired by the structures
that endure—and the ideas that keep moving.

Specus
Clarity, by design.
An aqueduct carries water along a deliberate path. Specus borrows that idea for an Android architecture built around a clear flow of actions and state.
This is the beginning of the collection. The app is in development; a working demo, source walkthrough, and engineering case study will follow as it takes shape.
Explore the architecture ideaA clear channel.
A predictable journey.
Specus uses the aqueduct as a metaphor for unidirectional data flow within an MVVM design: the interface sends actions, the ViewModel handles them, and state flows back to the interface.
- I
Action
A person interacts with the interface.
- II
ViewModel
The action is handled and the next state is prepared.
- III
State
The interface renders the updated state.
MVVM describes responsibilities. One-way state flow is the design choice connecting them here.
One collection. Many possibilities.
More chapters
will follow.
Each app will have its own purpose, name, and engineering story.
