Is there sth like ReceiveChannel#distinctUntilChanged?

[elizarov]

If you use Channel(Channel.CONFLATED), then only distinct changes will be reported

[Paul Woitaschek]

So the same is true for BroadcastChannel?

[elizarov]

You should use ConflatedBroadcastChannel, then

[Paul Woitaschek]

Why?

[elizarov]

It does what you are looking for — “distinct until changed”

[Paul Woitaschek]

Why are the channels built by Channel internal, but the channels built by BroadcastChannel public?

[elizarov]

The provides an expanded API. You can read the most recently sent value without actually opening subscription.
