At long last I am happy to share the first preview of kamp.ml (at the same day when KotlinJS-IR badge went live!). This is self-updating kotlin library catalogue, powered by maven scanner.

At the moment it's just a basic pager, but I plan to add search and filtering by available targets options. Maybe even community tagging in the future to allow dynamic categorisation

The initial scan is running right now, so more and more libraries will be appearing on the website today.
Keep hitting that F5 !
Also here's the source code if anyone is curious.

@Big Chungus just interesting, why kamp ? 🙂
Im really trying to understand why?
it’s third times it appears in kotlin-related projects:
• https://github.com/whyoleg/kamp
• https://github.com/touchlab/KaMPKit

[Big Chungus]

Lol, wasn't aware of any. In my case it's "camp" but with a k

[Big Chungus]

Looks like I'll have to come up with something different to avoid confusion

[Big Chungus]

Gosh, naming is hard...

[Oleg Yukhnevich]

hah, and the project is really great!
Im just not sure if it will be not supressed by https://package-search.jetbrains.com/

[Big Chungus]

I hope it will, I'm all up for centralised tooling!

[Big Chungus]

My main issue with package search is that it still doesn't allow you to filter by available platforms and doesn't even show any info about them

[Oleg Yukhnevich]

may be, you can contact them 🙂
I like your view on platforms (js ir/legacy and native splitting) it’s much better, then in JB PS

[Big Chungus]

End goal is to allow you to tick checkboxes of the platforms you work with and then only show relevant libraries

[Big Chungus]

Relevant, meaning that they support all of your ticked platforms. I've spent too much time looking for mpp libraries only to realise that they don't support one of my platforms. Also the docs rarely have a definitive list of supported platforms.

But gradle metadata does not lie, thus making this much more reliable.

I think lots of people use the Kamp moniker because it's what it sounds like if you say KMP quickly

[Big Chungus]

Might be. Again in this case it's pure coincidence 😀 it's supposed to be camp with a k

[Sebastian Aigner]

Exciting stuff, @Big Chungus! I see you’re also already compiling with ir, time to add that badge 😉

[Big Chungus]

Good point!

[Big Chungus]

And the tally is in. A grand total of 2.4k packages are now available in the catalogue. Gonna work on search and filtering next to make it actually useful
