I think the best option was to port android previews to multiplatform as they are, it's just a view in the IDE anyway, there's nothing platform specific needs to be implemented I guess. I'm not sure if you are considering this or not but I think that porting android previews to multiplatform is far more better and easier I guess than creating a new one and making it as good as the Android one.

And a reality is that is not just Compose, the classic UI toolKit suffers from the same thing.

Otherwise I have no issues with Previews, in fact I quite like them as they allow me to comprehensively test the app and also develop the UI very fast. Just a shame they're not available in IntelliJ and AS.
