ViewPropertyObjectAnimator VS kotlin-result

I've been using https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator and it's amazing

you just use https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator for everything, and if you need shared element transtiions you cry (then again, it's not like Compost can do that at all, so)

Animations with views were much easier, you just had to use this lib https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator and animator sets made it trivial. If you needed fancy crossfades then TransitionManager.beginDelayedTransition(container) and that's it.

Honestly, they're pretty even in that regard. Whether you use XML or Compose in "simple apps" is up to you. Some things are easier in Compose, and some things are just stupid tricky. Animations in Compose are the worst imo, with ViewPropertyObjectAnimator they used to be trivial for XML layouts.

This is probably just my experience, but with Compose I have to muck around with LaunchedEffects and manual interpolation, while with XML views I could just use https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator and AnimatorSet().playTogether().

That, and animations with https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator were much easier than linear interpolating in a LaunchedEffect, and shadow support is basically non-existent (Modifier.shadow() doesn't work as you expect, even android:elevation was better).

I like this library https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator

I don't know how to write animations without ViewPropertyObjectAnimator https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator

Really? I just used https://github.com/blipinsk/ViewPropertyObjectAnimator + AnimatorSet for everything and it always just worked

Sealed classes in combination with a library like https://github.com/michaelbull/kotlin-result will get you what you need. Essentially at that point you'll be doing error handling the way you would in Rust, where a 1-level deep sealed class containing data classes as children act as the root error type and each of its variants. If you have errors coming from two different domains you just create a wrapper error type for each domain.

This is a great result lib: https://github.com/michaelbull/kotlin-result

Lastly I do not like kotlin's Result and we use the kotlin-result library which is more expressive and not tied to Throwable (similar to Arrow's Either).

In my own code, I started to use explicit error handling. I'm currently experimenting with Result (from https://github.com/michaelbull/kotlin-result) and Raise (from https://arrow-kt.io/).

un-related to multiplatform i've found it extremely helpful to wrap things in a Result type. If something can throw an error, it get's a Result return type. It sounds like that would help your use case too. The built in Result may be useful too

This is a better impl.

Using a result type can help to differentiate quite nicely. https://github.com/michaelbull/kotlin-result
