We are happy to announce that Compose Multiplatform went Alpha today. The build 1.0.0-alpha2 is already available in the Maven repo. 

While its API is not completely stabilized, we will strive to minimize API changes in future, focusing on stabilizing the framework on its way to beta and 1.0. 

We believe that though the current version may have certain issues, it already could be used for early prototyping and PoC preparations of real applications built on Compose Multiplatform technology. 

And as usual - feel free to share feedback about Compose Multiplatform, so that we could improve it. Enjoy composing!

P.S. Some details about the Release could be found here - https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2021/08/compose-multiplatform-goes-alpha/

me that was already planning to use it for production stuff instead of prototypes before this was announced: i'm gonna pretend i didn't see that

Jokes aside, thanks everyone that contributed to the Compose Web, the project is pretty nice and it makes the web dev experience in Kotlin way nicer and easier 🙂

My favorite part of the announcement video - where Nikolay talks about compose on iOS being in development, and the future desire to use webassembly for canvas drawing of compose web.

Congrats! BTW , TIL it seems rendered by JS, still not support SSR , right ?

@spierce7
Where you hear that compose on iOS being in development ??

@Akram Bensalem I didn't watch the video yet, but I can tell you I saw a message from Nikolay on this Slack maybe a year ago or something stating that Compose for iOS was being worked on, so it's nothing new, just not announced widely, probably because it's still WIP and also relies on the new memory model in #kotlin-native to be optimal I think.

About SSR, you can get the page content from Kotlin/JS or plain JS like.

I'm not sure how I'd set up Gradle to have a task that builds the Compose app, run that line of code on the composed/rendered webpage and writes the output to a file, in one go.

Awesome!
