1. Uses complete MVVM (model-view-viewModel).
2. With data and viewBinding instead of ViewIDs.
3. Has a dedicated repository layer for remote api endpoint along with interface
4. Albums use data class (the 'model')

1. Used Retrofit http client with okhttp interceptor and user agent
2. Used KotlinXConverter factory for serialization of JSON
3. Used ktx as Jackson mapper is slow compared to that, and I am more comfortable with ktx
4. Use Coroutines for api calls and asynchronous IO tasks.

1. Used try catch blocks where needed
2. ViewModel live state is continuously observed in a sealed class
3. The sealed class is used to emit errors, loading and success in Home Fragment.
4. Users see a toast message in case of error.

1. Used recycler View Adapter and viewholder to populate the response.
2. Implemented Coil-KT by Coroutines as Image loading library which has advantages over Glide.
3. Instead of traditional progress bar, Used the shimmering effect library from Facebook that look more appealing.

1. Used the Material 3 search bar + View to integrate search.
2. The editText on changed listener that focuses on text change and immediately filters the list.
3. It performs a Fuzzy Search that finds matching Query and ignores casing (caps).
4. The directly performs search in fragment itself without needing context and callbacks, keeping code concise and without taking toll on performance.

1. The album api endpoint was lacking image urls, So I switched the endpoint with photos that was complex and time consuming.
2. Even without paging support, the response is loaded in chunks (20 items) (memory safe)
3. Viewmodel has caching and It does not re-fetches the api even when screen is rotated
4. Uses latest Kotlin tools and SDKs.
