Hey guys, it would be amazing if someone joins my multiplatform date/time library project 🙂 https://github.com/fluidsonic/fluid-time/tree/master/sources/common It’s inspired by the Java Time API and should probably also integrate with Kotlin’s new
Duration
(even though it’s a damn
Double
😛). Next steps: • Simplify current API • Add missing & improve existing implementations • Add more unit testing • Add more functionality and/or platforms

Looks nice but people will probably just wait for the official Kotlin Time API. In the meantime I just use a simple
class Date(val time: Long)
with some extensions

Yeah, I can’t wait that long 🙂
(And I need way more than just Timestamps)
r
Fair enough. I really just need a few things and quickly implement them on each platform with the normal platform Date/NSDate implementation
m
Yeah that’s what I’m doing mostly too. Just at a larger extent.

My only hope is that whatever Jetbrains does for Kotlin Time is good enough that we don’t need anything else ever

It will likely take a lot of time until we get there. Date/time libraries are coooomplicated.
