    I've got to say I learned something rather strange from this. I've never heard of ReactiveX and I'm glad to see someone's made it.

    I've been writing the same functionality with less safety and features for years. I'll be switching to this. Great find for me. Thanks!

    https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongodev has much more about reverse engineering of Pokemon Go.

    >> Actually, most of the imports we were seeing are coming from Upsight, which has a tremendous amount of dependencies (the list, with their number of methods: RxAndroid (4k), Dagger (~200), Commons IO (1k), Jackson (10k), Otto (~50), various Play Services (12k)), on top of their own code (3k methods):

    Upsight sounds like something to avoid.

    Does anyone know of any good resources to learn more about reverse engineering apps: Books, Blogs, Online Learning Courses, etc?

    So this means I may be able to hook my current fitness band up like a pokemon go plus? I hope it does; worth a try.

    Ugh. Thin, low-contrast, unreadable typography.
