I think this belongs here, I’ve been building a Time Tracker for GitLab for about a year because the built-in time tracking support is pretty lackluster. It’s built in Kotlin with TornadoFX. You can read more about it on my Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kotlin/comments/mil7ub/check_out_the_time_tracker_i_built_for_gitlab/ I hope other people find it as useful as I do!

Doodle 0.5.0 released Multi-touch Support Doodle now supports multiple pointers (i.e. touches) by default. So there is no additional work needed to enable this in apps. •

PointerInputManager

 now tracks a collection of pointers and dispatches events to Views on a per-pointer basis. •

PointerEvent

 now has information about the list of pointers (for the View and overall). This lets handlers support multi-touch. •

Resizer

 now works better with multi-touch. • Added ability to suppress OS handling of PointerEvent. This is like consume, except it does not affect other app listeners. Accessibility Support This release stabilizes accessibility and brings a lot of new support to items in the Controls library. • View now supports 

accessibilityLabel

, 

accessibilityLabelProvider

Hi all, just want to share a bit about my MVVM + UDF project after I learn a lot from this community with dad jokes as the content. This is my first project leverages GraphQL client and several relative modern tech-stacks/ practices: - Apollo - App Startup - Coroutines w/ Flow + Lifecycles - Dagger Hilt with testing (my favorite one) - DataStore - JavaPoet - Navigation Component - Room - WorkManager - and others.. https://github.com/ErickSumargo/Dads Goal is I hope this can be a good resource for anyone who seeks related practices and of course contribution is always welcome. Thank you all 🙏

Hi guys, I have written an article on how to share a Kotlin multiplatform module via Cocoa Pods with iOS.

Today I want to share with you my presentation about an upcoming 0.2 KotlinDL (deep learning framework from JetBrains) release (0.2-alpha-1 artifact is available now on Maven Central). Currently, the KotlinDL framework can boast that this is the only way to construct and train complex neural networks on JVM, such as VGG, ResNet, or MobileNet. There is also support for transfer learning for the popular models trained in Keras (or available in Keras. applications). For image preprocessing, several functions are available that allow you to avoid complex and routine work on the JVM. Code from the demo: https://github.com/zaleslaw/KotlinDL-Demo/tree/demo-1 Library: https://github.com/JetBrains/KotlinDL P.S. Support our project with a star on Github!
