Also in the future, maybe it would be cool to split github-workflow-kt into 2 libraries:
1. Common MPP library with dsl for generating yamls (could be useful e.g. in Kotlin/JS based wizards in browser for github actions/workflows authors)
2. More opinionated kotlin-script based "glue" library/tool for updating yamls, adding consistency checks, etc.

We cloud extract the MPP library so that it would be consumed by the Kotlin Script library, and it could even be backwards-compatible. However for now you're the first person suggesting such use case, and I'm unable to invest into it right now, however I'm happy to discuss contributions 😁

I'm trying to imagine how it would work - we'd have to be able to compile Kotlin in the browser, and the compiler so far works only on the JVM right? or am I misunderstanding this idea?

Idea is to be able to implement a lot of simple compose-web apps as clickable frontends for typical github actions configurations. Apps would use github-workflows-kt to generate yaml content user can copy&paste to github web. So we wouldnt give apps users full access to DSL, just simplified wizards for typical configurations. No compiler needed.

It could also be browser extension, that recognizes github pages and automate putting resulting yaml into repo a bit further, so user don

dont have to copy and paste yaml by hand
Anyway user dont even have to know there is any kotlin used

Ok, got it. I'm fine with extracting such DSL lib, but I probably won't create any app that uses it right now, I just have too much on my plate regarding this project. So if you're keen to contribute, I'd be happy to review PRs
