Victoria's Secret Community Library

About the app

Community is a social space inside the Victoria's Secret and PINK shopping apps. Shoppers join Spaces to post and run polls, and share outfit photos in Styles, tagged with the products they wear. I worked on the Android library that powers it.

What I built (2022)

• The profile page — the screen, its ViewModel, the joined-spaces carousel, the user’s paginated post list, and profile badges stored in Room.
• The whole search stack — the API, service, contract, ViewModel, fragment and a large test suite. Search runs as you type, with an 800 ms debounce, and each new query cancels the previous request.
• The Styles feed — tag filtering with a paginated grid, plus badges and product links.
• Style post creation — pick a photo, choose from the cached style-tag tree, add products, and submit; a pending-moderation sheet when the post is held for review.

What I shipped (2026)

• 2.1.43: under edge-to-edge, the keyboard covered the comment field because adjustResize no longer resizes the window — I added a listener that includes the keyboard inset.
• 2.1.44: fixed a sort arrow overlapping its label, and a post image that flashed on like/unlike because a payload-less change rebound a second view holder before data binding ran.
• Releases: I cut both releases to GitHub Packages Maven and kept master and develop in sync after a squash merge split them.
