A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I just saw wasm was still alpha? Somehow I though it was stable, but guess that's my memory's playing tricks on me?

How usable is it ( would be more for small personal project)

This year it should be promoted to beta. At least that's what was announced on kotlinconf this year.

One issue is preventing me to use it in prod is not fully working textfield in mobile browsers with soft keyboard.

<@UFCJF8B9A> Could you please point me to those issues in YT?

Initially there was an issue <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CMP-6816/Incorrect-TextField-behavior-on-mobile-browsers>
Additional cases were added in comments.
It was marked as solved when partially done, remain issues where moved to another ticket (i can't find it now)  and may be solved (need to check their states).
Text field become more stable now, but as i check for T9, it is still not working properly.
And there is still an issue with soft keyboard open when scrolling after focus on text field and hide keyboard.
Will try to find conversations about it a bit later.
Using compose of version 1.9.0-alpha02.

My main problem with it is that after just a few library updates you may end up with something that builds but just throws an exception at runtime without any clear pointers into your source code. I just asked for help here in such a case just a few minutes ago.

<@UDV7KQT43> Found an issue for scrolling and focus: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CMP-8100>

<@UDV7KQT43> Could not find issue for T9. Create new one: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CMP-8388/WEB-Mobile-Text-field-issues-with-soft-keyboard-T9-mode>

<@UDV7KQT43> if it helps, I had people reporting similar bugs with videos on Unstyled's TextField on Web (uses BasicTextField)

<https://github.com/composablehorizons/compose-unstyled/issues/73>

<@UPKV9E17S> do you know which Compose Multiplatform version is used in the reported issue <https://github.com/composablehorizons/compose-unstyled/issues/73> ?

<@UDV7KQT43> if you need anything else from my side, let me know asap/at any point.

would love to get this sorted cause it looks bad

Could you please report it at YT? With a reproducing snippet if possible.

<@UDV7KQT43> Im happy to, but there is nothing special in the code. It's just a BasicTextField.

the issue is the devices it runs on. on iOS it works great for me, but on Android it doesn't

i could open an issue with that info if you like

Yes, please. That would help to track it

keyboard issues are all over the place for compose wasm. Especially on mobile browsers. One more;
