Does Amper support something like gradle library catalog? Does it work on top of gradle?

[Anton Prokhorov]

now no, the only thing is available is having version catalogs accessible from gradle only (using interop), but we are working on version catalog support with gradle interop (possibility to consume gradle version catalogs)

When we’re at this - I find tomls as the worst possible choice for config files, so I hope that if you in Amper team decide on some final format for amper build configs, it won’t be toml just to be consistent with gradle 🙂 (but that’s of course personal preference)

Anyway I used Amper for last month and I’m quite happy with it, so probably will try again in my next small personal projects.
🤞 I hope Amper will get enough traction to help you developing it into full blown production ready build tool.

How does Amper work under the hood? Is it a standalone build system?

@electrolobzik Amper is currently implemented as a plugin for Gradle; but neither technically nor ideologically coupled to it.
