101 downloads feels good when u gave all your energy.

So recently, I pushed an application as OrganizeEmail which categories and make ur emails experience better with functions like redefined mail thread design, pinning etc.

The journey was not easy as, Google Auth Assessment, 1 lac rupees in testing, months of day - night work.

Finally reached 101 users.

So for my recent application where i organize emails and make it easy for user to see it. I am facing issue with white Screen. TECH STACK - Jetpack Compose (Android)

-> I am not using "installSplashScreen()" or anything. Default Splash however utilized this as well. I am initializing AdManager in my opening activity. And 3 other things like firebase, and 2 more things in application class.
-> I tried everything including color, delay etc. but icon will not come. the color is coming, but missing is the icon.

-> App link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codeSmithLabs.organizeemail

-> Attached Image is the re-designed UI for mail thread.

Hey All,

I recently went through CASA (Tier2) to get restricted Gmail API access for my app, and it was honestly more intense than I expected.

If you're using scopes like gmail.modify or gmail.readonly, be prepared — it’s not just a checkbox approval.

Main challenges I hit:

  • Way more documentation than expected (data flow, storage, encryption, deletion policies)
  • Had to rethink security basics (token storage, logging, least-privilege access)
  • Back-and-forth with assessors took time

What helped me get through:

  • Minimizing scopes and clearly justifying them
  • Avoiding storing sensitive email data wherever possible
  • Having a clean, explainable architecture (client → backend → Google)

Was it worth it?
Yeah. It forces you to build a more secure, trustworthy product — especially important for anything touching user emails.

If you're planning to use Gmail APIs seriously, don’t treat CASA as a last step. Design for it early.

Happy to share more if anyone’s going through it.

Hey everyone,

I’m an Android developer with ~4 years of experience, currently working on a product in the email productivity space.

I’ve built and shipped an app that helps users organize their inbox — things like smart labeling, bulk cleaning, and improving overall email productivity. The app is already live, and I’ve been handling everything solo so far: development, feature design, performance improvements, and stability.

Recently, I’ve also started exploring AI integrations to make the experience smarter (auto-categorization, better prioritization, etc.), and I feel there’s a lot more potential here than what I can execute alone.

That’s why I’m looking for a advisor or collaborator who can help evolve this into something bigger.

What I’m looking for:

  • Someone interested in product thinking, growth, or AI
  • Could be from tech / marketing / product background
  • Ideally someone who enjoys early-stage building and experimentation

What I bring:

  • Strong Android development (Jetpack Compose, performance, stability, scaling)
  • Experience shipping features end-to-end
  • Already have a working product to build on

I’m not looking for anything overly formal right away — more like finding the right person to brainstorm, iterate, and see where this can go.

If this sounds interesting, drop a comment or DM me — I’ll share the app and we can take it from there.

Thanks!
