@kzjn10 You should add a zIndex modifier with some positive value (1 should be enough) to your CurrentTime composable.

Today I am revealing 3 new Jetpack Compose libraries on my GitHub 🥳
* LazyTable
* ProgramGuide
* MinaBox

All of them are build on LazyLayout.

TextMotion was first added to TextStyle as an Experimental API in compose-ui 1.4.0-alpha04 release. Later, it was stabilized in 1.5.0-beta01. But, what does this obscure property actually do? Why would you need to know about it? Let's explore 🧵

Today, we merged a set of changes that will publish AnchoredDraggable in Compose Foundation. This is the successor to Swipeable which will be deprecated in favor of AnchoredDraggable. Stay tuned for the next alpha version(s) - or try a snapshot build (see https://t.co/3xPIN97dKT)

Many thanks to https://t.co/FQqBzFcfwz and @androidweekly for featuring my latest Jetpack Compose lazy layouts 😻

@Srimani789 Currently minabox supports only panning, but I am thinking about zoom support 👍

[Alex Balan @AlexWewox]

@funky_muse Wow, awesome, thx for the tip! Already updating readmes 👍

[Alex Balan @AlexWewox]

Both LazyTable and ProgramGuide are build on MinaBox library, which is a great helper layout to build your own lazy layouts. Do not forget to check README, why it is called MinaBox 😸

ProgramGuide, aka EPG, layout displays program guide data and provides convenient methods to register programs, channels and timeline items. Each cell is a Composable, so EPG style is fully customisable.

@kankroon Thanks 🤗
I am afraid I have never managed to write any about this library implementation 🙈

But the math about distribution on the sphere is taken from this article: https://t.co/uCGS50lqND
And the rotation logic is build on rotation Quaternions, see

I have recently released a new library to create a 3D tag cloud in Jetpack Compose 🌐

Cloud could be rotated with gestures or by modifying TagCloud state directly.

@JorgeCastilloPr Renaming java source directory to kotlin 😅

[Chris Sinco @csinco]

The new icon style is one of my favorite changes in the @intellijidea new UI - here's a subset of some favorites we've redrawn for @androidstudio 😻

[Alex Balan @AlexWewox]

This works nicely in Compose also 😍

And of course each item is a Composable function, so it is possible to create something like an interactive components 3D gallery 😀
