I see this question here regarding text gradients https://stackoverflow.com/a/64342047/4313362. Any plans to include support for text/foreground gradients natively in the framework?

[Robert Menke]

Example in SwiftUI would look like this

public func gradientForeground(colors: [Color]) -> some View {
        let gradient = LinearGradient(
            colors: colors,
            startPoint: .topLeading,
            endPoint: .bottomTrailing
        )
        
        return self.overlay(gradient).mask(self)
    }

Technically that example is native already to Android ;) but yes perhaps a higher level abstraction would be useful. @Siyamed may know if there's an open request for this already.

Yes there is an open ticket under compose > text component with the keyword brush.

I am away from keyboard will post later.
