Markdown links are always a gamble for me.
I never know if it's [markdown](markdown) or (markdown)[markdown]
I usually get it right a lot (muscle memory) but I can't tell for sure that I know the right syntax.

#JetpackCompose executes your code in different phases, which causes some parts of the @Composable function to be executed separately from each other.
Crashes in these phases can result in stack traces that are hard to decipher, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact line of code that crashed 💥

Another new feature in Compose 1.10 is the new: Modifier.scrollableArea() 📜
Think of it like this: Modifier.scrollable() tells you how the pointer moved, while Modifier.scrollableArea() translates that pointer movement into how the content should move within a typical scrollable view.

Jetpack Navigation 3 is stable! 🎉🎉🎉
Leaning into Jetpack Compose and the idea of combining smaller building blocks together really helped make Nav3 a much more flexible library that made it a joy to work on and hopefully for you to use as well!

To improve AndroidX release binary transparency we have made all of our release branches visible to the world.
E.g. collections: ci.android.com/builds/branc...
What that means is now you can go from a released version of a library to an exact buildId and the source tree state for that release.
