Hey Artem, nice job! I tinkered with a native Material DN app last year but haven't shipped yet. Hopefully will at some point... Will you be open-sourcing yours? Could be a great example for the community. :)

A few questions for you:

• Why use a left nav drawer? Seems like a drop-down from the title area (Top Stories) would be simpler.

• Have you explored larger screens (6+" devices)? You could show the full category icon and use the mid-grey tone for negative space on either side of the white content surface.

If you work on Android, definitely check out the app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.capitainetrain.android). Great example of delightful details and overall polish.

My first few years working professionally were with small startups with fewer than 10 employees. I was exposed to every detail of digital product work. I learned a ton, especially about my own strengths and weaknesses.

Last year I joined a large organization (~250) inside an even larger company (~30k). But my team, the folks I work with every day, is still small, like 10ish. So it still feels nimble, and many hats are still worn, but the pace is more relaxed. Except when it isn't haha.

I'm not really sure how I'd like working on a larger functional team... To be one of 10+ designers for a single product, supported by dozens of engineers. Anyone able to comment about what that's like?
