Feeling a little lost on what to use for a Map of data that's manipulated in a non-compose module but reflected in the UI.
SnapshotStateMap seems like the ideal way to expose it to the UI, but I can't use that in my non-compose module.
StateFlow<Map<T, V>> seems like the only option, but that emits the entire map on each change, rather than only what changed about it.
Any other better options? I could make a SnapshotStateMap observe the StateFlow but that's kinda gross, right?

Might be better suited for #compose unless there's something in here that is desktop specific

Another time I asked a question about Compose that wasn't desktop specific I was told to ask here because "the apis are different" or something 😄

That one was graphics-related

but also, Android-only solutions would not work for me, and are much more likely to be offered in #compose

as it is the de facto android compose channel

I still think that you'd get more traction in that channel, perhaps with framing the question to be platform-agnostic to steer people away from Android-specific answers.
