Web and Android United- Kotlin-Powered Cross-Platform Excellence

" summary

Builds a Kotlin Multiplatform inventory for thousands of vinyl records that reuses the same Kotlin Multiplatform UX/editor logic across Android, web and a Micronaut backend, using coroutine/Flow repos, SQLDelight, local storage/SQLite or Firebase for persisted editor state, and a one‑click photo workflow with Bluetooth shutter to speed cataloging. Image OCR and reverse image lookup (GCP/Azure/AWS, Vertex AI) populate metadata and Discogs feeds match releases; backend services sync inventory with Shopify/Square APIs. Prototype demonstrably reduces manual form entry and preserves edits across reloads.
