TLDR
Before starting up, thanks for the help and contributions!
Hello! I am building a website for Android developers at https://androiddevnotes.com/.
I need help to populate our Projects section (https://androiddevnotes.com/projects/) with useful Android projects. These can be apps, libraries, websites, courses, etc., categorized by tech stack or other tags.
Here’s how you can contribute:
- Add Projects: If you’ve found a great project whether it be yours or others, you can add it to the site to help other developers discover it. Paid.
- Get Paid on Uploading Project: If you have a project and are willing to share its source code, you can add it to the Projects section and set your price. If someone buys it, the profit is yours!
- Write Articles: Publish your articles on the site. Paid.
Just include a brief description and relevant details for each project.
I have added details on how to contribute below.
If interested, let me know how you can contribute on Twitter, Insta or Email.
Coming Soon
Ability to upload your written, and video courses with the ability to mark them as paid or free. If someone buys your course, revenue is shared 90/10. You keep 90% of the revenue. Coming soon …

You are also welcome to write articles in a blog section.
Content related to Kotlin is also welcomed!

The image does not highlight all fields. Feel free to experiment with format, fields, etc.
Author Profile
Update your Author Profile so your name, email, and website shows up under the content you published. This is optional. You are free to remove these details.
Demo Author
This is how it will show up on your published content (project, post)
Get Paid
If you have developed a project and want to perhaps sell it, you can do it.
Create a project, add your price, and if someone buys it, you get the profit.
One example of usage is if you have developed an Android app and are willing to share its full source code with users, you could do that.
You can:
- Add a Text File with an invite link to private GitHub repo containing your source code (Preferrable)
- Add a Text File with an invite link to your Google Drive or any storage containing source code
- Upload a zip file of the source code
Ensure to always add extensive detailed documentation for users to get your code set up.
Be creative and use this feature as you prefer!
Once an order is completed, the money will be sent to you on a bi-weekly basis in bulk ideally.
