that they can spend more quality time with you

Maybe its just the doc offices i've been to, but i think this would actually just increase the patient churn in a hospital. There's no way a doc is going to increase their patient time by the 40% saved if the hospital can toss them in front of another patient.

I find that it works quite well. This is definitely more of a "rant" than anything else of a user that doesn't like where things are going.

Running one instance of Android Studio, a VM and like 3 chrome tabs is enough to blow 8gb out. We need 16GB min with a 32GB option in pro laptop

look at the signature for `with`

    inline fun <T, R> with(receiver: T, f: T.() -> R): R 
it takes a lambda that is scoped to the receiver type `T`. This means the lambda runs in the scope of whatever is passed in as a receiver.
    with(list) {
      add(item)
      add(item)
    }
This essentially lets you create DSLs for whatever.

Another thing that's bit me in butt recently is that `Protocol`s aren't concrete types, unlike an `interface` in Java/Kotlin.

In what way? I've recently started writing in Swift and I find it to be less powerful than Kotlin. One such feature that's missing: extension expressions. Allows things like `let` and `with` from the kotlin stdlib

If you use the tinfoil app on android, it has an option for this mode as well.

* Login isn't through the official API, I just scrape what the website does

* There is an AlertDialog on the first run of the application that lets the user know about the G+ community

* Donations haven't been publicized yet (I only added the links a couple of weeks ago). I may publicize them soon, as the Heroku instance I'm running the server on may need to be moved into a pay tier.

Ha! The web interface is probably not the best interface to emulate, especially not for mobile. If you're attempting to utilize Material Design, you should take a look at the metrics guidelines for creating a pleasing UI on the device.

I found that I got some good feedback via /r/androiddev and /r/android (once I got the client to a presentable state). My client: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.dwak.holoha...

Haha, saw this while working on my own android client!

Some pointers:

* Your story list is incredibly crowded and the text/background colors are too similar.

* Your store screenshots: don't need the Pull to refresh image (which, by the way seems like the wrong color). Also, don't know what the image with the empty list items is.

* The story number seems unnecessary, and has too much priority on the list item

Looks like a good start though, let me know if you've got any questions!

I have a relatively medium implementation of a layout in anko here: https://github.com/burntcookie90/KotMeh/blob/master/app/src/...

I'm not sold on using it as a layout DSL, it's just not as easy to format as XML, and I don't think it looks syntactically that much better. However, I am sold on using anko as replacement for setters and getters (ie. `setText("test")` is just `.text = "test"`). Additionally, it's incredibly easy to add more extensions for other view types, like `RecyclerView` and custom layouts.
