Day 68-70. Theme switcher

What I did:

It is my Monday report about my challenge and the progress I made over the weekend. I didn't report on the weekend because I didn't make any progress. I tried again to implement bookmarking logic, but I failed as had previously. I couldn't bookmark an article, either through the official API or a web API call using a token. Almost every time, I encountered an error related to an authentication issue. So, I will skip this step for now.

I thought about a library for theme switching for the KMM project, but I only started working on it today. I've created a separate repository for it, and I placed a simple class inside. I want to implement this logic not only for mobile platforms but also for other platforms, such as desktop and web. I used the KMM library wizard to generate a base template for that. I committed this project with my simple class and tried to retrieve the dependencies through Jitpack. When I tried to retrieve the dependencies, I encountered several errors during  the artifact build process. I think I should correctly configure the Maven Publish plugin first. I will try to do this tomorrow, and only after successfully completing this step will I continue transferring the logic to the library. 

I'm not sure if I will complete the project before the end of my challenge, but this subtask is very interesting and allows me to build something useful for the community. 

What I will do:

If you want to join the project, just leave a comment here, or write a message in LinkedIn.

What help I'm looking for:

Designer (create design of application in Figma)
Android/KMM developer
Any other help related to the project.
