So I’m just wondering, but how does ambient work? It seems to be kinda similar to react’s context but I’m not sure if I’m right. How would I make my own ambient things, and would it be appropriate to use it for things like network?

yes, you've understood its nature correctly. `Context` is a bit of an occupied namespace on Android already. :slightly_smiling_face:

They're quite easy to make a mess of implicit dependencies with and should be used sparingly

And when you make an ambient, the ambient state acts global, and can be used everywhere?

Or is there a concept of providers like with react

there are providers. `myAmbient.Provider(value) { ComposableStuff() }` is the usage

and you can consume them with an effect: `+ambient(myAmbient)`

the scope of an ambient read will recompose if the provider value changes and we can skip recomposing things in between

Okay, I’ll try them out and try and get the grasp of them then
