@louiscad I'd define val connectionStatus = ConflatedBroadcastChannel<Boolean>(false) to keep connected/disconnected status and then whenever I need to wait for it being connected I'd do connectionStatus.consume { while (!receive()) { /* do nothing */ } }

@elizarov Seems neat!
The receive() docs say calling it "removes from the channel", but this statement is false for `BroadcastChannel`s, right? Also, what does Conflated means exactly?

[louiscad]

Here's what I could implement with your suggestion: https://gist.github.com/LouisCAD/0d57c65bc9dd2e45135942e8ffb365bf
Is this right?

EDIT: Just edited the gist to add an isLocked property.

receive() removes from the channel, but here we are working with BroadcastChannel, so each consumer opens its own channel that receives its own copy of the value that was sent.

Conflated means that it stores the most recently sent value, so if you start consuming, then the first thing that is receive it the last state that was sent.
