About the AFRICA ANDROID CHALLENGE
The Africa Android Challenge is all about the software development lifecycle. We'll go from concept to launch on each of the projects. The idea is to come up with a concept and develop it to completion.
We will share everything we learn. It's a great opportunity to learn about Android development and software development in general. You'll also build community by participating.
This group has discussions in the Discussion Forum, an RSS feed (the "Reading List"), a place to post comments and you'll see individual pages here, too.

Thanks to Google for providing Android phones and assistance with this contest.

Experimental Web Install API Seeks to Improve Application Discovery and Distribution
The new, experimental Web Install API is now in Origin Trial in Microsoft Edge and Chrome. The API allows developers to programmatically trigger a PWA installation prompt from in-app user interactions. The API aims to simplify software discovery and distribution, particularly for users who are unaware of the install icon in the browser’s address bar or do not typically use app stores.

Hannah Foxwell began her QCon London 2026 talk by noting that the long-sought velocity in development has arrived, but the industry is unsure how to use it. She set aside the technical details of agentic coding, focusing instead on its implications for the people working with these systems.

Agoda engineers developed Storefront, a Rust-based S3-compatible reverse proxy that improves load balancing, request routing, and observability across large-scale object storage systems.
