Multiplatform UI with Compose

on YouTube ↗46m

" summary

Shows a practical path to shipping Kotlin Compose across Android, iOS and Web: uses Compose for iOS (beta) and Compose for Web (alpha), simplifies Gradle with a tiny plugin-style setup, and implements a shared component layer plus platform-specific views. Builds window state, keyboard/shortcut handling and expect/actual calculateWindowType for adaptive layouts; navigation relies on decompose for multi-window and hotkeys. Demonstrates a real internal portal on Compose for Web that works, notes missing MPP libraries (wrote own fallbacks) and TV focus remains unresolved.
