Google doesn't want you to know about this one weird trick to have convenient, global access to Context in your apps!

The KMP IDE plugin is now available in every IDE and OS combination you might need! Now including Android Studio support on Windows and Linux.

We'd also really appreciate some fresh reviews on it, as most reviews are complaints about availability 😅

A macOS update isn't complete without it breaking custom screen savers, I guess... My blog post now includes a brief section on Tahoe, and I released a new patched version of the Kotlin Logo screen saver as well.

A new default project structure for KMP is in the works 🚧, replacing the all-in-one composeApp module with per-platform app modules and separate shared modules.

The image below shows Android, iOS, Desktop, and Web apps that all use the same shared Compose UI. Feedback welcome!

Looks like Medium is down.

Someone really needs to explain to me why "made for kids" content can't be added to a playlist on YouTube so I can find it again later. I swear I'm an adult.

Finally, we can set Project view as default in Android Studio. This is really nice if you develop Kotlin Multiplatform project in Android Studio 🛠️📱
