Kotlin Team AMA #3: Ask Us Anything
For backend development, I'd recommend using Kotlin/JVM, but of cause, you also, can try Kotlin/JS too and a library with typed declarations for Node.js modules could be helpful in this case https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-nodejs. You can simply create a Kotlin/JS project targeting Node.js from IntelliJ IDEA Wizard (Kotlin | Node.js Application).

Understanding file associations in JVM apps
So, to add file associations, we need to be able to pass both the .properties file and the --file-associations option. At the time of writing this article, the org.jetbrains.compose plugin doesn't provide such a mechanism. There is an open issue on GitHub that describes a possible workaround, which, unfortunately seems to not work on macOS.

Timeline with Scrollbar in LazyColumn Compose
Compose for desktop has a scrollbar component available. You probably can't use that directly on Android, but you could probably steal most of its code.
- How good is Compose Multiplatform in production especially in creating Desktop apps?

Kotlin for a desktop App
My company uses https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform to make a desktop app in Kotlin. It's amazing and fantastic. It's basically as mature as using Kotlin in an Android app.

JetBrains Compose is now Compose Multiplatform
As for missing controls, a common one is a grid. They have built in grids, but again they are built for Android and don't make any sense in a desktop app. There is no simple way to create an Excel-like Data Grid like you might see in Windows Forms, although it can be done. https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/issues/344.
