MVI made for Android

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

Combines MVI state pipeline with Android architecture components so the UI uses ViewModel + LiveData while keeping RxJava (or coroutines/Flow) confined to business logic, reducing scattered reactive code. Shows a working news example where an initial load action produces a loading change then a data change, reduced by a pure reducer (scan operator) into a new state. Demonstrates easy given‑when‑then testing and a tiny helper library Roxy (≈50 lines, ~60 method count) and a reducer via scan operator.
