The demise of jcenter is quite annoying actually. Spending time on opensource if fun and fine, but now I even have top pay (indirectly via URL hosting) to publish the various artifacts on maven-central. I doubt that this will help to flourish the jvm/kotlin ecosystem.

I think that there will be new distributed artifact storage solutions shortly. And it would be for the best in the end. But right now, we need backup plans. We are going to host our artifacts in Space and use https://github.com/Heapy/repo.kotlin.link for discivery. The project is just a POC, but it is easy enough to be replicated on a larger scale.

looks cool. I'll wait until the "sunset" and check what community consensus has emerged.
