Cyborg

An Android Devkit for Zig?

Cyborg is the name for an Android devkit I was writing in Zig. The way Android forces you to install a multi-gigabyte SDK to make apps has always bothered me, and this was my attempt to fix it. The goal was to be require nothing but the Zig compiler to create basic apps for Android. I learned a lot in the attempt. I got as far as creating and signing APK files before I needed to switch focus to something else. I think if I could have found a way to fund my work on Cyborg, I would have stuck with it.
