Android on Vulkan blog post

[EwanC]

Create a blog post on the recent AdaptiveCpp developments of a Vulkan backend that can run on Android.
This is ready for review but draft because we need these two AdaptiveCpp PRs to merge first:

• [VK] Handle kernel arguments set via uniform buffers AdaptiveCpp#2186
• Android Cross Compilation Support AdaptiveCpp#2158

Then we can fill in the date placeholder.

I've not looked at a rendered version of this MarkDown file, if there's a way to preview what the rendered blog post would look like on the website that would be good to know.

Yes, this is possible. I did it once long ago, so I don't have the command readily available. It would be sure good to try, especially to test whether the new author entry properly works (IIRC, there were some issues around that part).

This page might help, otherwise I suspect the LLM of your choice might also know how to do it :)

Thanks, those instructions works. I did need to add a couple of Gem dependencies to get it working on Ubuntu 26.04 and also set a date/time in the past for the post. I've includes those in a commit to make it easier to review if you want to test this branch out locally yourself, but can the remove extra gem dependencies and set a real publication date before actually merging
