RemoteCompose claims a Jetpack framework that serializes fully interactive UI as a compact document and ships a Kotlin DSL (KMP) plus AndroidX players; the runtime encodes canvas opcodes, float expressions, shaders and a particle system, and exposes a component layer with adaptive layout and actions. Demos include a 422‑byte launcher widget, a 2 KB NFC QR example, and an ESP32 oscilloscope round‑trip; it works today but is alpha and has platform/version compatibility tradeoffs.
