I'm always surprised by how many people don't know about the Kotlin Slack community. It's a fantastic place to discuss issues with others, with dedicated channels for almost any Kotlin topic, and lots of JetBrains people monitoring them too.

A great write-up from Perk about how they adopted Compose Multiplatform! Cool to see this from an app that I actually use regularly.
