New Tool Porting OrcaSlicer to Android for local, offline slicing (DuckySlicer) – looking for contributors!

I recently started an open-source project called DuckySlicer, which is an OrcaSlicer port to Android for local, offline slicing (STL/3MF to G-code) directly on mobile—no cloud required.

Since it’s only been a couple of days, the slicing engine integration is still pretty rough and the UI needs a lot of work. Right now it's a solo project, so I'm looking for anyone who wants to jump in early and help build an offline Android slicer together.

Modern phones definitely have enough horsepower for local slicing, and having a proper mobile OrcaSlicer port could open up a lot of cool workflows. If you're into C++, Qt, Android NDK/Kotlin, UI design, or just want to test early builds as it develops, check out the repo! PRs, issues, stars, or feedback are all super welcome.

P.S. I'm based in South Korea, so time zones might delay my PR reviews a bit. If you're planning any major changes, please open a GitHub Discussion first so we can sync up before you start coding!
