The Adventures of Kotlin And Compose Through the Multiplatform World
summary
Builds an Unsplash client that shares business logic across Android, Wear, Desktop, Web and an experimental iOS UI, using Kotlin Multiplatform plus Compose Multiplatform; network uses Ktor, persistence uses SQLDelight, and strings/images use moko‑resources and platform implementations via expect/actual resource adapters. Android and Desktop UIs run from the same Compose code, Web and iOS UI sharing remain early, Kotlin/Compose version mismatch and R‑class resource handling cause workarounds, and production users include JetBrains Space and Netflix adopters, so business logic sharing works in production while UI portability is partial.
