You know that moment when you're rushing to book a cab, the payment is about to go through, and suddenly the app freezes? For a few seconds, you're stuck - did the payment go through or not? Do you retry? Do you close the app? That tiny moment of uncertainty is enough to frustrate most users. And more often than not, they don't come back.

That's exactly how silent damage begins in mobile apps. Not with big disasters—but with small, unexpected failures in moments that matter most. On Android, even one crash in a critical flow like login, checkout, or onboarding can quietly push users away, hurt your ratings, and impact revenue. While no app can ever be completely crash-proof, Kotlin gives you a strong safety net to reduce these risks long before users feel them.

The streak broke. So did the flow.

It wasn't that I forgot. I remembered, just a little too late.

Right before midnight, I opened the app to log my progress. But the screen just sat there, trying to connect. No internet. No log. No streak.

It sounds small, but if you've ever built a habit one day at a time, you know what a streak can mean. It's not just numbers. It's proof. And losing it? That stings.

That moment made one thing very clear: apps that help you grow should work with you, not against you, especially when the internet doesn't cooperate.

So let's build something better.
