I still think the topic of #C0BJ0GTE2 should state that an ad for a closed-source Android app is not an interesting Kotlin-related post. Most Android apps are implemented in Kotlin these days, so that alone does not make them interesting for the Kotlin community. At least not for me.

Not sure what was intention for feed if this is a way to promote your work then maybe it is fine to have closed apps

I think promoting apps is not the intention.
It's for sharing interesting articles & videos about Kotlin and also a good place to share open source libraries & apps to learn from.
I have zero use for Android app promotions, because that would just flood the channel and make it unusable.

Would there be interest for a dedicated showcase/promotion channel?
Personally, I'm curious what people are building with Kotlin, especially projects targeting desktop, web, backends etc. But ultimately it will be flooded with android apps.

I agree that apps targeting KMP on many platforms are way more interesting than the regular Android app.
Mind that people have the option to write a blog article how they use KMP with their learnings/findings and share that in #C0BJ0GTE2.
