Hi, <@U02AB5P2XU6>. I'm currently building a web app using Compose HTML. I stumbled upon a message where you mentioned the Kobweb team developed some sweet extensions to Compose HTML. Is it available for public usage and if yes, where can I find it?

You can find the tutorial here → <https://github.com/varabyte/kobweb/#trying-it-out-yourself>

Ah sorry <@U02RK29E6S3>, I don't know why Slack notifications don't always work for me. (They should be set up aggressively for this channel in particular, but I don't always get them)

Specifically, you want the `com.varabyte.kobweb:compose-html-ext` artifact. Note that for now I'm still only publishing artifacts to my own repo (will start using mavenCentral when I hit 1.0). What this means is you need to add the URL repo entry `<https://us-central1-maven.pkg.dev/varabyte-repos/public>` into your build.gradle repositories block.

For example, like this:
<https://github.com/varabyte/kobweb-templates/blob/a090872ca4b84b0231969f0052247001717417d3/examples/todo/build.gradle.kts#L14>

And here's the code if you want to browse around to see what's available: <https://github.com/varabyte/kobweb/tree/main/frontend/compose-html-ext/src/jsMain/kotlin/com/varabyte/kobweb/compose>

You might allllso be interested in `com.varabyte.kobweb:kobweb-compose` (<https://github.com/varabyte/kobweb/tree/main/frontend/kobweb-compose>) which introduces the `Modifier` concept (plus Row, Column, and Box modifiers) without having you commit 100% to using the rest of Kobweb. Just note it does invovle a bit of manual setup to get it working that Kobweb otherwise handles for you. If you try it out and have trouble with it, just ping me here and I'll help out (assuming I get a notification....... again really sorry about that!)
