Multiplatform UI: Compose outside Android
summary
Compose Multiplatform is a real, shipping UI stack built by a ~10‑person team in ~1.5 years that already runs on desktop (Windows/Linux/macOS), DOM web and a WASM/canvas path and targets native via Kotlin/Native, using a Skia‑based renderer with Metal/DirectX/OpenGL backends. It supports packaging signed native installers, IntelliJ previews and accessibility, and a production migration (Toolbox app) proves the approach works; iOS native support is planned.
