Another Compose (it) Desktop

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

Compose for Desktop brings Jetpack Compose to Linux macOS and Windows by reusing the compose compiler plugin with Kotlin Multiplatform and Skia via Skiko bindings, producing runnable windows and actual distro binaries (dmg msi deb) through Gradle tasks. Preview works in IntelliJ via the Compose multi‑platform plugin. Packaging currently fails with JDK 11 but builds fine with JDK 15 required. Internals still rely on Swing JFrame; community apps and tools (taxi, Molecule, terminal UIs) prove it works.
