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

showcase claims the Forbes app is 80% KMP. let’s try it out

— 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!

This is the current sweet spot we use it for. We have several bits of sharing like backend code generated for JVM and JS so we can run in webviews on the clients and native JVM in the backend. We also share types/serialisation between backend, Android and iOS to create a compile time contract
