Hello everyone, I'm currently working on a project...

# compose-web

[Vivek Modi]

Hello everyone, I'm currently working on a project using KMP (Kotlin Multiplatform) + Compose Multiplatform (CMP). The application involves sending notifications to users and handling in-app purchases. I've already implemented these features for both Android and iOS.

Now, my product team wants the same functionality available on the web. I convinced them to go with KMP + CMP instead of Flutter for a consistent codebase.

That said, I'm relatively new to web development and I have a few (possibly basic) questions:

1. Should I use Kotlin/Wasm or Kotlin/JS for web development?

2. How do push notifications work on the web, and what's the recommended approach?

3. What’s the recommended way to implement web-based in-app purchases, similar to how it's done on mobile?

4. I see Kotlin/JS is marked stable—can I use it with Compose Multiplatform for production web apps?

Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

hey Vivek. this is off topic for this channel as it's a discussion about compose web. but i'll keep it in a context of compose web for those new here.

the tldr is:

web is nothing more than yet an other client you can cater for, similar to android and ios.

so the same way of implementing things for mobile is the same on web, but instead of dealing with android OS and iOS, you are dealing with the browser (javascript APIs).

re push notifications and payments, you said you are dealing with android and ios. how are you handling/going to handle it there? if you are using a 3rd party solution, check if they support browsers as well and you are good to go.

if they don't support all 3 clients of yours, you can go ahead and implement it manually on the backend. you have full control there, but that's a different topic on its own.

everything else is something no one else can answer for you. no one knows your skillsets and your situation and 'should i use kotlin' is such a generic question to answer. this is a kotlin specific slack channel, so 'yes. use kotlin' is not very helpful

Thanks alex for explaining it. I'm using a stripe api for payments. I'll ask questions in the kotlin slack channel.
