I know it's early, early days for Web, but I'm trying to seed a project that compiles to Android, Desktop and Web targets. It's working out, albeit uncomfortable.

Specifically: trying to find the versions of Compose dependencies that all work with the same Kotlin version took some time. The common denominator remains at 1.4.32. (EDIT: Wrong! ⚡ See in-thread for 1.5.x combo ⚡ 🙂 )
Also, code sharing opportunities remain limited due to their separation. What's the ball-park for an all-in-one artifact? Weeks, months, years... or not on any current roadmap?

just fyi that there is combination that works with Kotlin 1.5.10 right now:

Jetpack Compose beta08
Compose for Desktop 0.4.0
Compose for Web 0.0.0-web-dev-14.1

@John O'Reilly Thank you, thank you 🙏
I thought I'd tried that (I've been referencing People In Space too 🙂 ) and for some reason I interpreted error messages as JB had tied 14.1 to 1.5.20-M1 - tried it again, and you're right, I'm happily wrong - this works 😂

[John O'Reilly]

I have 1.5 related changes in kotlin_1_5 branch of PeopleInSpace still.....waiting on Koin update and will merge those to main then

1.5.x across all three; I'm giddy.

When you say all-in-one artifact, are you referring to a single MPP Compose dependency for all three platforms, or to being able to use existing canvas-based widgets out of the box?

The former I thought was pretty close, but I could be mistaken (cc @[JB] Shagen). The later isn't currently on any roadmap, more detail here: https://twitter.com/JimSproch/status/1400860180980518912

Thanks @jim; Yes I was referring to the former: a single dependency for all three platforms.
I understand that having a comprehensive set of widgets that works across all three is a longer term challenge (if it's desirable at all), but having the same dependency, organised so that the small/growing overlap is 'common' would still be empowering to devs.

Note that recent web artifacts contains Desktop and Android versions, and we plan to start publishing 0.5.x with web next week.
