07/27/2018, 5:43 PMIt is possible to make wrappers for basic widgets like lable, button, etc, but for me it is unclear how to make complete framework.

07/27/2018, 6:11 PM@krtko desktop ui system is quite possible for desktop ^, but that's not quite the case for mobile and js. React native is quite complicated and the power for kotlin native is probably in expect/actual anyway.

Android and Desktop have basic implementations.

07/27/2018, 9:27 PMwell, it looks like we're solving it a bit different tho
artem_zin
07/27/2018, 9:28 PMmain focus of Domic — non-blocking, reactive apis only with in-memory testing and performance in mind (scales really well)

07/27/2018, 9:28 PMmultiplatform is not really possible until we make multiplatform rx

agrosner
07/27/2018, 9:30 PMYes multiplatform rx would be ideal

agrosner
07/27/2018, 9:31 PMKotlin way with extension methods and maybe making some common interfaces would make it much smaller than current rxjava bloat

07/27/2018, 9:31 PMHey artem!

artem_zin
07/27/2018, 9:31 PMwell yea that's one way

MutableCollection<(EventData)->Unit>3 Views
