I'm just getting started on learning this. Based on the first tutorial I found it looks like the entire dev environement is based on an IntelliJ Project which makes sense. Is there any concept of using Kotlin JS to compliment a pure npm/node dev environement? Or at minimum maybe just generating shared code that a non-kotlin project can just import. Basically looking for some way to benefit from Kotlin JS without getting locked into the ecosystem if that makes sense.

you can use gradle on the command line for building and your editor of choice for writing code

Makes total sense. I used Kotlin Multiplatform for a Kotlin/JS and didn’t like being forced out of the web world to write web code. Feels unnatural to me, so I am in the process of building my multiplatform lib as a simple autonomous file (using ./gradlew jsBrowserWebpack and I’ll be using it in a clean pure react app.

That is kind of what I was getting at, seems like a library is the middle ground here if I wanted the final solution to ultimately be built in a 100% web world to standardize it a bit more.
