Hello, can someone help me with kotlin channels?
I wanted to create a behavior similar to `ConflatedBroadcastChannel`, but discarding the event when it's broadcasted. Is there any channel implementation that is capable of that?

Would `ArrayBroadcastChannel` fit your use-case?

Sorry but it doesn't. The `offer` function will fail if the buffer is full For my case it should return true discarding the first element in the queue

Let me clarify. You want conflation but you don’t want to deliver the most recent event to the newly joined subscribers? I’m curious as to what is your use-case for that?

Yes, that's right. I have an Android application with MVVM. The ViewModel communicates with the View through a channel. The `ConflatedBroadcastChannel` is perfect to keep the last View State. But there are some events the ViewModel may send to the View that should happen only once, such as "Show a snackbar message" or "Navigate to other screen".
