As for the web part it would be nice to mention Kotlin React is not the only way for declarative reactive UI for the web slightly smiling face Both KVision and Fritz2 also support this pattern But that s just my three cents slightly smiling face

Daniele B · Answer

What we are looking forward to is actually JetpackCompose for the Web which we hope will appear sometime in 2021 But in the meantime we rely on the declarative UI web framework which is best supported by Kotlin at the moment React

Kris Wong · Answer

yeah 15 min should be split into 3 articles

Kris Wong · Answer

or no one will read the whole thing

Daniele B · Answer

I am thinking to present the paragraph summary the one I also posted here at the top of the article so that the reader can be aware from the beginning which are the topics and can go directly to the section they are most interested in if they wish

Daniele B · Answer

Maybe it s just a matter of taste I personally feel overwhelmed when I am presented with an article that is just the first of a series and I am not fully aware what the next articles will talk about I need to have a very big motivation to start reading the first article of a series I feel better if I am aware from the beginning what all the topics of the article are and I guess I don t mind that they are all on one page But thanks for the suggestion After I finish writing I will consider if it makes sense to split it in 2 articles by still keeping the full list of paragraph titles at the top of both articles

Kris Wong · Answer

you do you i m just speaking from experience

Daniele B · Answer

Thanks +1

andylamax · Answer

I am so looking forward to this But again if it too long very few of us will read it

Daniele B · Answer

< andylamax> thanks for the interest Do you think splitting the content in multiple articles will help or do you think that long content in general either in 1 long article or in multiple smaller articles will receive less attention in any case

andylamax · Answer

I think split it in multiple parts and if you can publish them all at once with links pointing to one another

andylamax · Answer

That way one can read one part Do their things and also catch on the next part after

andylamax · Answer

Plus I believe it will make a good flow to it Gives you few sections to concentrate on per each part

Daniele B · Answer

thanks +1
