Building expressive User Interfaces with FreeFlow

To render large collections of data, ListView and GridView are the de-facto choice on Android. However building unconventional interfaces for data collections that don't look like the default list or grid is very hard. iOS6 introduced the concept of Collection Views that let you create really interesting arrangements for data collections. A couple of months ago Comcast Labs released an open source version that implemented a similar idea for Android projects.
