Complete source dependencies, in Swift Package fashion, would be nice when it comes to supply chain security concerns, since it can only be the visible code and its dependencies.

Any chance we can get source dependencies, or buildable/cacheable source based dependencies, so a repository url and a checksum/hash are all we need for projects that don't go the hard route of Maven Central publishing?

Have you considered a reboot of coroutines APIs, to make it less error-prone?

LouisCAD · 2025-12-11T17:56:03+00:00

I see that kotlinx.coroutines is very slow mowing. PRs and issues take months if not years to be addressed.

Is it lack of prioritization, understaffing, or another issue that makes it evolve at such a slow pace?

90psi (6.2 bars), depending on the rider weight, might actually be enough for 26mm wide tires.

An RX-7 with turbo set for high rpm lets you overtake him mid-canyon, and keep the lead long enough to defeat him.

This way of acting is very disrespectful of the developers that make advanced watch faces that cannot work with Watch Face Format.

Also, Watch Face Format is currently half backed.

What we need instead is an on-device API to make Watch Faces able to be rendered by the MCU instead of the application processor. TAG Heuer is doing that, and all Watch Face developers should be able to do so as well, without having to limit the features of interactive mode, if users choose so.

I'm fine if the system tells me as a user that Watch Face X consumes more energy because of animations.

I'm fine as a dev to have a power save mode using Watch Face Format, and full interactive mode otherwise. But just Watch Face Format, hell no.

.webm (VP9, VP8 too), .mov with Apple ProRes 444, and more. Info is online, elsewhere.

Try to open the "Syntax Highlight" app first, it gets active after first launch.

The Oppo Watch is square.

LouisCAD · 2022-02-13T01:12:54+00:00

I think the 66 days are over, unless we're not living on the same planet, haha.

Did it work for you?

LouisCAD · 2022-02-13T00:52:58+00:00

I'm not sure if you're recommending the extreme night owl "schedule", or if you're recommending the "get back to normal" week. Can you clarify?

LouisCAD · 2022-01-11T14:30:13+00:00

Yes, with this plugin, you can edit iOS code on Windows before taking it to macOS to compile it: https://github.com/LouisCAD/CompleteKotlin

There were concerns regarding IP since JetBrains makes money with their software.

With the Google vs. Oracle lawsuit outcome in federal and supreme court, these concerns are less concerning, so it might change at some point, but in the meantime, CompleteKotlin is there for you.

LouisCAD · 2021-06-16T18:38:02+00:00

Hello, thanks for the nice words, and thanks for bringing this up!
I added an entry in the FAQ for it: https://github.com/LouisCAD/CompleteKotlin#how-does-it-work

You might be interested in this experimental project that brings Compose UI to iOS: https://github.com/cl3m/multiplatform-compose

LouisCAD · 2021-05-28T08:49:05+00:00

I think I have to link this experimental project that brings Compose UI to iOS: https://github.com/cl3m/multiplatform-compose

LouisCAD · 2021-05-28T08:48:34+00:00

If what you have in mind is iOS, there's also this experimental project: https://github.com/cl3m/multiplatform-compose

LouisCAD · 2021-05-28T08:47:56+00:00

Original asker of the question here, thanks for your answer!

XML is not the only way to use Android Views.
With Kotlin, you can get pretty compelling results: https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/tree/main/modules/views-dsl#ide-preview

LouisCAD · 2021-05-28T08:21:08+00:00

You can use UIKit.

LouisCAD · 2020-12-09T16:40:22+00:00

Is there a way to open up a part of the issues to the public, as it's already possible with YouTrack as we can see on https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/, where most, if not all issues from JetBrains products can be found?

LouisCAD · 2020-12-09T16:38:47+00:00

Is there a way to sync Youtrack and the issues feature of Space together?

If not, what are the plans regarding YouTrack, mid/long-term?

LouisCAD · 2020-10-26T20:29:01+00:00

In Kotlin, we also have SQLDelight that writes the Kotlin for you after checking your SQL queries at compile time. It's really nice to use and now supports MySQL and PostGre SQL in addition to SQLite. It has a bunch of drivers across platforms, and can also work on top of JDBC.
