orbit-mvi VS accompanist

Go over to the docs for orbit-mvi and show how it has these flaws.

This looks great! Semi-related question... have you evaluated other MVI frameworks like Mavericks / Uniflow / Orbit? What made you decide on Mobius?

Do you recommend Mavericks? I've been meaning to evaluate it and orbit-mvi.

Everything in MVI is just more code that does nothing (see how most MVI frameworks are basically just a wrapper over state.value = state.copy() like in Orbit or MvRx which you wouldn't even need if you used combiners) and instead adds unnecessary constraints over MVVM that don't help you at all. The "sealed class inputs" are basically a reinvention of calling interface functions except you create classes for it, despite there being no asynchronicity when you have a View -> ViewModel communication.

Redux is called MVI in Android world. There are plenty of MVI libs: MVICore, orbit-mvi, mobius and other.

The truly disheartening part is that whenever you choose something that works, for example ViewPager1, you need to defend that yes, this thing actually works as intended, yes, there's nothing in it that would "break over time" just because Googlers added the @Deprecated on it, and yes, you still don't want to use Compost for this because you still cannot scroll vertically in a horizontal Pager if your view is a WebView.

Compose on the other hand came out half-baked, significant performance issues, missing features, bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs and bugs.

Just to add to the list, Accompanist is a collection of compose libraries that helps a lot with some features. I can recommend Navigation-Animationand Permissions. https://github.com/google/accompanist

To give a bit of context, libraries not released as Jetpack libraries as experiment projects. Once they're released as Jetpack libraries, we have stricter release schedule in place and more resources to provide better stability for developers. That's why some Accompanist libraries end up as part of Compose foundation set, while others are still being shipped as part of the Accompanist project.

So you're going to get support for Parcelables in argument passing, animation support without having to fear crashes, and if you drink the ScopedServices koolaid you even get to get DI with lifecycle management and scope inheritance.

Here's a fun bug though https://github.com/google/accompanist/issues/1233

There is a bug the preview is not working when System UI controller is used. See issue tracker here.

👋 I have been using Mobius personally and for work for over two years now. It's a lot of fun to use and I would definitely recommend the community to consider using it. I frequently visit their GitHub repo because they still have their documentation in the GitHub wiki, unlike new repos such as Accompanist. So, I thought what better way to give back than do the grunt work of porting their wiki to GitHub Pages + MkDocs ❤️🔥

Accompanist for unofficial stuff that's still useful
