I'm your friendly reminder that doing a cross-platform app doesn't mean you should forget about platform features. On the Desktop, keyboard shortcuts are vital. You really should have them on #Android, too. Anyone knows about the Meta-/ shortcut? Here's how it looks when an app registers shortcuts.

Structured concurrency is a paradigm that bridges the gap to easily visualize coroutine execution. It structures coroutines so that:
1. The parent always waits for child tasks to complete
2. Exceptions are properly propagated so they are not silently lost or ignored

The @kotlinconf.com BIKE trip is almost over!
Last Friday afternoon (3 days ago), we were in Amsterdam.
2 days in, we were crossing the Germany border!
This afternoon (Monday), we arrived in Bremen…
…and tomorrow Tuesday, we will reach Hamburg, and take the train to Copenhagen with our friends!

And you also invoke more methods, prevent ART inlining, etc. So if you are going to invoke that lambda at a high frequency, consider using a fun interface. This will eliminate boxing, but you can still use the regular lambda notation to invoke the API.
