Is there a function that splits a Flow<UnmappedValue> into a Map<SomeKey, Flow<MappedValue>> ? Like the opposite of merge? Maybe explode or subFlows or something like that?

Not sure how that would work - you’d want to have a Flow continuously add to a mutable map?

I figured it out and made a function, basically I needed this

fun <Key, Input, Result> Flow<Input>.toMapOfFlowsBy(mapping: Map<Key, (Key, Input) -> Result>): Map<Key, Flow<Result>> =
    mapping.mapValues { (key, transform) -> map { transform(key, it) } }

You could also do the same thing with a List if you wanted
