been making a multiplatform airbnb sample using Kotlin Multiplatform and Jetpack Compose. 100% shared UI even with platform stylings still in play. Now have an interactive map on both platforms and Figma to accompany it fully.

In this new eventsourcing blog post we will considered several ways to implement state to be used in decision-making. We're equipped with a varied range of tools suitable for different sizes and maturity of problems, from deriving the state with kotlin stream extension functions to employing finite state machines. Enjoy the read! https://dev.to/jakub_zalas/deriving-state-from-events-1plj

Cool to see Forbes using KMP! https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbes-engineering/2023/11/13/forbes-mobile-app-shifts-to-kotlin-multiplatform/?sh=79c2197253ca

When communicating about #akkurate, I always fear that people might not understand how to use this validation library in their application. kodee broken hearted This is why I've just published a tutorial about Server-side validation with Ktor ktor I hope it will help people to understand how Akkurate can help them! Remember that, by validating your requests, you improve the security of your backend and the quality of the stored data. And, in case of a public API, you also allow your users to better understand why a request failed, which highly improves the developer experience.

I've written an article for an introduction to Kore, the Kotlin library for creating Minecraft Datapacks ! This is my first article so feel free to indicate me if some parts are unclear or contains typo, and if you would be interested by more article on other subjects (related to Kore or not).

This week on my blog, we’re going to take a little detour and refactor our functional solution towards an object-oriented style. https://dev.to/jakub_zalas/object-oriented-event-sourcing-2p4

Data-Oriented Programming with Gradual Types in Kotlin

🔴 Together with @zsmb, we'll be live-streaming more tonight! There's going to be ✨ Fleet, 🎨 Compose Multiplatform, and how knows what else! (Maybe even some goofy PowerPoint drawings!) 18:30 tonight! (https://calndr.link/event/aj8LfwHxWz). If you want to hang out with a few JetBrainers, see some of our new tooling and tech in action, or simply have a relaxed evening with fellow Kotliners, consider tuning in at https://twitch.tv/sebi_io 🤗

"Currently, the Play Console policies are undergoing frequent changes, making it challenging to navigate app submissions on the Play Store, especially with recent updates such as those outlined in this article: Link 1 and . To facilitate discussions, share knowledge, and offer assistance to fellow developers, I've created an open channel on Telegram. Feel free to join us at Indie Android Channel. It appears the app store team might have missed the crucial point that the success of developers directly contributes to the app store's prosperity. Without developers, the app store becomes less meaningful. Let's work together to understand and adapt to these policy changes

Hey folks ! Kore was updated until the latest version of Minecraft 1.20.3-pre2, containing the new changes for

command, with new features to `ScoreboardManager`s ! Also I now have a #kore channel if anyone is interested 🔥

Hey folks 👋 just wanted to share that we just published a Gradle plugin (100% K ) which lets you localize your Android or KMP (#moko resources) app using Google Spreadsheets https://github.com/futuredapp/sheet-happens

Extracting Data from Maps - More Data-Oriented Programming in Kotlin

Came across this (old but still relevant I think?) video the other day, asking a good question and mentioning Kotlin a bunch of times. Disclaimer: it's not 100% Kotlin but gives an interesting point of view of functional programming and the ecosystem in general.

Was told this might fit here. KMP library kmp-flagkit - it’s a simple little library for those that need flag icons in ImageVector format https://github.com/acarlsen/kmp-flagkit

val newBytes = Kim.updateThumbnail(
    bytes = bytes,
    thumbnailBytes = thumbnailBytes
)

This library serves as a substitute for Apache Commons Imaging, specifically focusing on the metadata component. Originally derived from a Java library, it has been migrated to Kotlin Multiplatform and undergone numerous improvements, surpassing the capabilities of the original version. If you are a user of Apache Commons Imaging, please give it a try and provide your feedback. 🙂
