The demo app is on GitHub. It's a tracking app for P&P player and will be useful for my current DnD campaign.

It consists of a (JVM) server and clients for Android, iOS, web & desktop. Developed with #Ktor, #KotlinMultiplatform and #ComposeMultiplatform

@leiva_dev Yeah, great way to make it easier to read. It's important to keep in mind, that it internally calls ApplicationCall.receive() as done manually. So it throws the CannotTransformContentToTypeException when the content can't be transformed. That's something that should be handled.
