A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hi folks. I have a burning question, hopefully you'll be interested in solving the mystery with me.
At Airbnb we have a pretty cool and *beautiful* IJ plugin which works like a charm. However there are some cases when it does not work at all - when it installed as a *host* plugin on remote Intellij IDEA.

So our investigation concluded that it's because all UI is written in Compose with <https://github.com/JetBrains/jewel>

So it seems like using Compose for IJ is well supported, except for rendering in host mode.

Partial solution to that is to run plugin as *client*, and in this case UI does work, but most of the other plugin functionality does not.

:question: So the question is, how we can make Compose to render on IJ remote host? I think this should be possible since Swing can do that.

Any crazy ideas and suggestions are welcome, we'll probably try them all anyway.

<@UK2RSNAVB> one of my friends recommended I reach out to you with this question, do you have any ideas we can investigate? or may be know someone who can help?
