Hey everyone, I am happy to announce first experimental release of Kotlin Multiplatform Libsodium Bindings, this is a library that wraps Libsodium and LIbsodium.js to provide cryptographic primitives in Kotlin Multiplatform Projects. The library still needs some work regarding adding documentation of the APIs, and also a lot of security review, and until it's deemed safe for use in certain scenarios it will stay in Experimental state and shouldn't be used in production. Apart from that the library is fully funcitonal. https://github.com/ionspin/kotlin-multiplatform-libsodium
