[FEAT]: Add Detekt & Lint checker to project about dodoformastodon HOT 10 CLOSED

Detekt does support auto formatting based on ktlint. See: https://github.com/ReluctApp/Reluct/blob/c9de419e966abbf7e686ac7752dbe46178da2fc5/build.gradle.kts#L80

We could also use Twitter's 😉 Compose Rules. It's really nice because it also catches common Compose errors / gotchas.

As part of this task, we could also add some git hooks to auto-format and catch rule violations before code is pushed to GH

It's worth mentioning the detekt formatting rules just wrap ktlint rules so you can use detekt to cover both rulesets without adding another plugin for ktlint.

Ktlint comes with an autoformatter which makes it easy to automatically fix the formatting failure, or even prevent it by adding it to a pre-commit hook.

This would save everyone a lot of time.

As far as I'm aware, Detekt doesn't have an autoformatter like that?

While you all write so much comments into this issue, you could probably have it added already 😂

I made good experience with the Kotlinter Gradle plugin. It also offers a Git hook.

Maybe spotless with ktlint is an option.
