Hello! I'd want to draw a word cloud with Compose. Is there a project already available in the community or some tips to do one?

Super interesting idea!
Quick solution would be to embed js in a webview

But if you designed it as in the one I posted it should be doable in compose as well. Not sure if you can actually get the gaps of the typography for filling in more words

So much algorithm on the web to do that, I also liked this one <http://wordcloud.cs.arizona.edu/gallery.html> (it was open source like 8 years ago, not sure if still maintain or just an old web page) but those algorithms may be too complex for the time I'm willing to spend on it :grimacing:

Yes, those things are not easy to implement. I ended up in a basic „flow layout“ :sweat_smile:
<https://github.com/chrimaeon/curriculumvitae/blob/main/common-compose/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/cmgapps/common/curriculumvitae/components/TagCloud.kt|https://github.com/chrimaeon/curriculumvitae/blob/main/common-compose/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/cmgapps/common/curriculumvitae/components/TagCloud.kt>

Which is a simplified version of accompanists flow layout for multi platform compose.
