A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

In general, I've noticed that the Compose community is behind Flutter. I'm curious if there is something similar to <https://pub.dev/> for Compose, where component sharing/publishing is encouraged? I would be very happy to see that!

(with a live-rendering in web compose as a bonus :fire:)

<https://package-search.jetbrains.com/> might be useful to search for MPP. It’s mainly a facade to different maven repos.

Hi, if you have questions about Package Search, do ask. It's also bundled in IJ 2021.2 and later (look for the Dependencies panel at the bottom). There are <https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/package-search-build-system-support-limitations.html|some limitations> in what the plugin supports tho, so YMMV.

That said, the Compose ecosystem mostly lives between Maven Central, Google's Maven, and the Gradle plugins repo

That is a bit fractured compared to what Google has created. React Native also has this: <https://reactnative.directory/>
The existence of something like this for compose would go a long way in encouraging contributions!

&gt; In general, I've noticed that the Compose community is behind Flutter.
To be fair, Compose went stable less than a year ago, while Flutter has been stable since late 2018 :slightly_smiling_face:

&gt; That is a bit fractured compared to what Google has created. 
Compose libraries are available wherever Android libraries traditionally are, so we didn't think to create yet another repo just for Compose. It's fair though that Android libraries are fragmented across several repo sources but that is likely a consequence of not establishing a single repo location 10+ years ago. 

WRT to community sites like the RN ones you linked, there are some like this one: <https://jetpackcompose.app/compose-catalog|https://jetpackcompose.app/compose-catalog>

Makes sense, would be awesome if there was something as user friendly as the others


I like that! Can that somehow be made to compete with the others in terms of being promoted to a top search result, providing popular repositories etc and promoting collaboration 

There is Dev Library - <https://devlibrary.withgoogle.com/products/android|https://devlibrary.withgoogle.com/products/android>

Also there are third-party catalogs:
