on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

Claims that Compose runtime can manage app state (not just UI) and that Compose Multiplatform removes duplicate presentation logic across Android, desktop and iOS. Demonstrations include shoehorning Compose into a Google Cloud Function as an experiment, using Molecule to produce StateFlow-backed view model state, and wiring navigation with Circuit/Voyager/Decompose. Shows Kotlin MPP 1.9.2 and Compose MPP (2021) in real projects, and describes retained coroutine scopes and remember/serialization tradeoffs that succeeded in practice.
