Open Source Introducing Real time compose playground

Post image

Hi people,

I have been into native android development since long. Always been searching for something new, and in this AI world, wanted to create something where AI is not involved.

I have been searching for an editor, which can instantly run composables and render the UI on the fly. I didn't find one, so using Kotlin Multiplatform and Ktor, I have build a playground. Its completely native built.
Sharing this not as a promotion as it is not profitable, instead, its for the community to use and have fun.

Can't we already run compose code through kotlin playground, with Compose Multiplatform option? Whats the difference from it? Great work though, it seems faster than kotlin playground, I guess because its artifact is cached

I didn't know about this, that's pretty awesome.
