# amper

You guys asked for some feedback in a presentation on YouTube yesterday, so here we go:

I really, really want to adopt Amper, but I am entirely blocked by a lack of support for two things:

- Kotlin JS / Web targets (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/AMPER-221)
- As an aside, can you guys please upgrade from WebPack to Vite and fix the double-build problem? The Vite plugin found at https://opensavvy.dev/libraries/gradle/vite.html is frankly much better than using the default Gradle tooling at the moment.
- Library targets
- Ideally include publishing to a private repository (S3), but if I have to manually script uploading some files I'll be fine.

I have custom tasks I need to run, and some things I extend Gradle to do, but I can always separately script and run those. The extendability of Amper in that sense is actually less important to me.

In addition, if automatically rebuilding at least for web isn't there, then for convenience's sake I might stay away from Amper. That feature is too nice to leave behind.

Hi Joseph! Thanks a lot for the feedback, this is quite useful.

Regarding web targets support, I can't promise anything right now. A colleague has started looking into WASM, and the JS target is not excluded from our plans, it just hasn't been the highest priority so far.

We're working on making library publication better, and will add support to KMP library publications in the coming months. The main focus for library publication at the moment will be maven repos and Maven Central. We haven't talked about publishing to a private S3, but we're working on extensibility so users like you can write custom tasks when facing non-standard cases.
