I spent my Saturday working on a small fantasy drafting app for the Puppy Bowl. It doesn't do the full draft but you can select players and assign them to teams, then export a CSV with the results. As a bonus it's written in KMP because all the libraries worked in common. github.com/KevinSchildh...

iOS dev question: Anyone know how to modify a photo in your iOS photo library? I tried using PHPhotoLibrary but I couldn't get it working the way I wanted it. I want to be able to change bytes, not just add filters or whatever. #swift #ios #phphotolibrsry

These wrappeds are getting a bit out of hand. git-wrapped.com

🚨 Major KMP Update: Debugging Kotlin in Xcode with SPM is now possible! Simplify workflows for iOS teams while scaling Kotlin Multiplatform. Read @kpgalligan.bsky.social ’s breakdown:

I released jetc.dev Newsletter Issue #245! Compose and Wear Compose alphas! @tdcolvin.bsky.social on camera apps! @kevinschildhorn.bsky.social on multiplatform adaptive layouts! And... do we really want to know what the "X" is in "Android XR"?!? jetc.dev/issues/245 #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev

Took an old toboggan and made it into a Christmas decoration. Not too shabby

Compose Multiplatform just added support for Canonical/Adaptive UIs, adapting screen content based on the screen size. A longer post and sample to come, but it's really neat seeing it work on all these different screens! www.jetbrains.com/help/kotlin-... #kotlin #CMP #KMP #android #ios #mobiledev

DateFormatter is super useful, but it's also really error-prone 😩 It's so easy to set a bad format or re-create the formatter too often... But did you know that a simpler and more robust alternative exists? www.swiftwithvincent.com/blog/bad-pr...

KMMBridge 1.1.0 Released! (KMMBridge publishes Kotlin Multiplatform builds through Swift Package Manager) This is a fairly significant release. @touchlab.co is refactoring KMMBridge to focus on it's core task, and to be more maintainable and extendable. touchlab.co/kmmbridge-1.1

I might have overdone it with following starter packs

For anyone curious about Kotlin Multiplatform that hasn't tried it yet, here's a nice succinct post about the current ecosystem and how to get started. #kotlin #kotlin-multiplatform getstream.io/blog/kotlin-...

For anyone interested I've been slowly working on a slideshow app that connects to an FTP server, such as a local NAS, for displaying photos github.com/KevinSchildh... It's built using: * KMP * CMP * Cool It definitely needs some updated docs and it's only jvm currently but it's a good start

Mix Native iOS Views in Compose Multiplatform With Touchlab's New Library! youtu.be/UukFp6TbcZ8?... Compose Swift Bridge (touchlab.co/composeswift...) looks like very useful addition to Compose Multiplatform ecosystem!
