— POSTS DELETED — It appears I was using a region-locked version of the Forbes app and most likely not the one referred to in the showcase. I have deleted the post criticising the app, since I don’t think it was necessarily KMP

anyway in conclusion, seems like KMP is a reasonable but not super ambitious tool for sharing non-UI Kotlin code between platforms. Compose MP is the actual RN competitor, but is too early to really dunk on and has not got much adoption yet. thread over, goodnight!

lotta strong feelings about the checkies, as expected—broadly positive once people get how it works! imo the Bluesky app is an opinionated lens of an open network, and this additional editorial trust layer is a strong compliment to the more objective domains layer. I love that we’re building…

primitives that other participants in the network can use and build on top of. This is an MVP of sorts, and it excited to see where it goes from here

we’re really not interested in being the sole checkmark authority! Looking forward to adding more Trusted Verifiers over time—you can imagine different verifiers covering different fields and specialties
