Look, my freaking job is to enable you to advocate for your potential future app users. Its somewhat hard to do that using unmodified CleanArch or DDD as one does not get to the design evolving the feature screen fast enough in an app development workflow.

Yes, its important to understand APIs; but its more important to re-align app architecture so that we get to design evolving the feature screen faster. Both CleanArch and DDD are almost 14 years old and not align with storyboarding a feature screen.

Part of the steps to re-align app architecture to storyboard an app is to dramatically change the data classes we create. Instead pair the data class with a private data fixture so that we can storyboard and text the feature screen from that first hour of app design and development.

While, Google has at times partnered with some amazing IO presenters to deliver examples of beautiful screens. However, no IO presenter has shown how to align the app architecture with the storyboarding process of evolving the design of a feature screen.
