Prose is an Android app to capture and save highlights from physical books.
The app uses the Google Play Books API to search for a book and obtain rich content for the same. Books can be saved into a bookshelf and highlights can be added for each saved book. Text recognition is performed on-device using ML Kit.
Saved books and highlights are persisted locally using Room for offline availability.
The app also uses DynamicColors API to align UI colors with the color theme of the wallpaper in both dark and light modes.

The project requires a Google Books API key that needs to be added to a apikey.properties
file in
the core-network
module.
The app is setup as a multi-module project containing core and feature modules. It follows the unidirectional data flow model where data flows from the network/database layers to the presentation layer where it's reduced to UI state. This state is then consumed and rendered as UI using Compose.
