NotEmptyList

conversion to inline class in progress: feedback needed! 👀 Hello! I hope everyone is doing good. I'm currently converting the NotEmptyList type to an inline class and I would like to have your feedback about its PR 145, mostly on the documentation's improvements. Like suggested yesterday by @flavio in the #server channel, I added some usage examples for each declaration updated in this request directly in their documentation. Are there expressive enough for using them correctly? I would love to have your thoughts about these changes. 🙏🏽

New

DeprecatedSinceKotoolsTypes

annotation: contribution needed! 👀 Hello community! 👋🏽 As an Open-Source project, Kotools Types is in need of new contributors. For doing so, we write issues with the `good first issue` label indicating that an issue has enough details for new contributors to work on. One of those is about the new `DeprecatedSinceKotoolsTypes` annotation that is now open and ready to implement! If you are interested in contributing to this project, this is a nice issue to start. 🙌🏽 Thank you all for your help on this and have a nice Kotlin. K

Builders suffixed by

OrElse

,

OrNull

and

OrThrow

for `StrictlyNegativeInt`: contribution needed! 👀 An issue about the new builders suffixed by "OrElse", "OrNull" and "OrThrow" for the "StrictlyNegativeInt" type, having enough details for new contributors to work on, is now open and ready to implement! The main goal of this one is to align builders with Kotlin standards instead of using a single builder returning a

Result

instance (a topic already discussed with @Klitos Kyriacou in the #server channel). If you are interested in this change and want to contribute to this project, this issue is a nice way to start! 🙌🏽 Have a nice Kotlin. K
