@alexstyl That's fine. You can still run a lightweight docker container in a VPS.

@JorgeCastilloPr 👋

@elonmusk Use Kotlin multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform. One codebase and the app will work for all desktop environments (Windows, macOS, and Linux), mobile (Android and iOS), and web.

[Chris @ChrisKeenan]

@JorgeCastilloPr Yes. In fact, I prefer physical books. I stare at screens all day long. It's nice to rest my eyes when reading. An e-reader doesn't cut it for me.

[Chris @ChrisKeenan]

@JorgeCastilloPr Is there a physical copy of the book available for purchase?

🔥 Compose Multiplatform for iOS is Stable and Production-Ready! 🔥

Build mobile apps faster with shared UI code, full control over native experiences, and the confidence to ship at scale.

Honestly, it would be nice if we could configure our projects to use that naming convention to work with @gradle as well.

src@android
src@ios

reads easier than:

src/androidMain/kotlin
src/iosMain/kotlin

[Chris @ChrisKeenan]

One aspect I like about Amper is their source directory naming convention: src@android, src@ios, etc. And the ability to include Kotlin and native files under a source set. Really clean approach for a multiplatform project.

@zsmb13 Nope not yet. Working out some kinks, and plan to release for iOS in the coming weeks.

[Chris @ChrisKeenan]

@theapache64 @AndroidDev I like to use refreshVersions for this. Then I don't have to provide or look up the version. I just use an underscore where the version will be. Then all dependencies and versions are centralized in a single autogenerated https://t.co/aJZ01tYdVv file.

[Chris @ChrisKeenan]

@github_skydoves Really cool! I did something similar a while back with my library parcelable. Good to see first class support for kotlinx serialization.

@0xocdsec @trojanw0w @TechloreInc You're right, using a VPN delegates trust. However, mooncloak doesn't require accounts (no email, etc), crypto payments are coming soon, client app is open source, and I plan on adding Tor to VPN support in the near future.

[Chris @ChrisKeenan]

@trojanw0w @TechloreInc The client app is open source, but no logs is dependent on the server. We have no accounts, so no association of traffic to a user. Tor to VPN is in the pipeline, which will hide origin IP address. Free and cheap VPNs log and sell your data. mooncloak does not.

[Chris @ChrisKeenan]

Also, the colors library is pretty packed with useful utilities! It supports color palette generation from images, for instance.

[Chris @ChrisKeenan]

Before Compose Multiplatform was stable, I needed multiplatform Color components so I created my colors library. https://t.co/SgWC4VMd97

Now when I need to exchange Color models between client and server I use Compose's color models and my Compose serialization library.
