Java + XML workflow
Project files, a phone-like preview, and run feedback stay connected so beginners can see how Android pieces work together.
Independent software studio · Kurt Diano
Natsu Labs builds software for learning, work, and everyday use.
Current products include Kodari and Acadence. I also build focused websites, Android apps, and practical systems around real workflows.
Public beta preparation
Kodari
A browser-based Android learning studio for writing Java and XML, previewing app behavior, saving projects, and sharing work without requiring a full Android Studio setup.

Save and recovery
Autosave, cloud projects, sharing, navigation guards, recovery paths, and zero-data-loss testing are product-critical behavior.
Performance hardening
Current work targets lower-end devices and browsers while preserving the offline-friendly workflow and existing save behavior.
Faculty pilot
Acadence
An Android instructor workspace shaped around real class routines: attendance, student records, submissions, notes, imports, and the small decisions that become painful when they are scattered across tools.
