10/24/2021, 5:31 PMHello everyone, I've been able to build RESTAPI with Ktor, but now I'm planning on building a bill payment platform RESTAPI for mobile, thinking if I could still use Ktor for it

What are you trying to build? For the server part, you can just use Ktor. On the mobile site, go with Android. The communication is then via REST.

10/25/2021, 2:59 PMI don’t see any issues with it. It all down to you. When you follow good programming practices, it shouldn’t matter what language and framework you use 😉
