Hi, everyone
Is possible to replace my PublishSubject to Flow, or BroadcastChannel or something more Kotlin-ish way?
Thank you

I'm sure there's a channel that maps directly to PublishSubject the way ConflatedBroadcastChannel maps to BehaviorSubject

I don't think so ^^

But there is https://github.com/akarnokd/kotlin-flow-extensions

From what I’m gathering, Flow can replace Rx but it’s not the same style as Rx.

[thymecypher]

So while you should be able to do everything in Flow you did in Rx, it’s done so differently that not everything is a “replace x with y”

[alexsullivan114]

Really? It's pretty similar...there's a few differences (no Singles/Maybes/Completables so way less flatMapping) but other than that it's a very similar concept

[thymecypher]

I’m terrible at Rx and only recently tried Flow but it felt a lot simpler in practice compared to Rx.

I think that's because you need less stuff in most Flow chains. I.e. you can usually get away without `observeOn`/`subscribeOn`, you don't need to flatMap nearly as much (probably almost never for most peoples use cases), and terminal operators behave in a synchronous manner - i.e. first just gives you the first item rather than some Single or something
