react-native-windows/macos is insanely goated. it’s like if you took the best parts of electron (getting to write code in typescript, the best language) and removed the worst part (the web browser)

has anything of note ever been built with Kotlin Multiplatform? I didn’t see anything I’ve ever used on their showcase page

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
