12/26/2023, 10:51 AMThis isn't exactly the same thing, Compose HTML is just a small framework over HTML, then you have Compose Web which is a big framework sharing the exact same API as other plateforms but compiling to WASM and requiring Garbage collection proposal which is supported only on very recent version of browsers (so I wouldn't recommand that for now)
You also have multiple tools like #kobweb, #decouple and some more

12/26/2023, 10:53 AMYou also have Silk (which can be used with #kobweb), it's a wrapper on top of Compose HTML giving APIs inspired from Compose Multiplatform, this can help make a multiplatform app because you don't have to rewrite everything from scratch for the Web version
