SlantedTextView
A small Android UI library that renders a slanted label (e.g., NEW, SALE) on top of views. It’s a drop-in custom TextView with attributes for color, text, angle, and placement. Useful for adding corner ribbons to cards or images in Android apps.
Why this was rejected
- ✕No LICENSE file in the repository, making commercial use unsafe despite README text
- ✕A single Android UI widget is too narrow to package into a standalone revenue-generating web product without significant repositioning
No LICENSE file in the repo means commercial rights are unclear even though the README mentions Apache-2.0.
How it could be fixed
1) Add an OSI-approved LICENSE file (Apache-2.0) at repo root and tag a release. 2) To qualify commercially, reposition into a hosted service: a dynamic promo-ribbon/badge manager for Android apps with an SDK (Android/Compose) and REST API that lets marketers configure A/B-tested ribbons from a dashboard; include analytics and remote config, Stripe billing, and a demo app. This creates a real buyer (mobile e-commerce app PM/marketer) and a paid SaaS surface.
