Is there some convention about `modifier`s passed as param? Should it be modifier and then the local modifiers or local modifiers first and then .then(modifier) ?

modifier first in the chain

What’s the use of then ?

[Stylianos Gakis]

.moreModifiersInTheChain()
.then(
  if (someCondition) {
    Modifier.clickable()
  } else {
    Modifier
  }
)
.moreModifiersInTheChain()

is a good example

with apply, you are not actually returning the modifier you just edited, apply returns the receiver just as it was before the block inside did anything.
It's the same as doing

val x = 5.apply {
  this + 1
}
println(x) // <-- prints (5)

Yeah sorry, I realised that 😅
