webfx VS compose-multiplatform

There's this: https://github.com/webfx-project/webfx. But it uses GWT which is not maintained (actively) anymore.

For JavaFX on web there is WebFX, Gluon Promise, and JPro.

WebFX - a JavaFX to JavaScript transpiler - can now access local files, as you can read on this GitHub discussion, with a demo on files.webfx.dev.

There is also https://github.com/webfx-project/webfx doing that: https://spacefx.webfx.dev/ compared to server-side rendering wit jpro https://demos.jpro.one/spacefx.html

It's not gluons project. And your words contradict themselves. If it is mirrored from a server, turning off the internet connection would freeze the game. It runs on the browser, and obviously it'll be cached after loading it once? Your words really make no sense. It's a good transpilation, that's why it's small... Can you just accept it? https://github.com/webfx-project/webfx

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.

JetBrains has a simplified example of a general-purpose Compose text viewer here: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/blob/master/examples/codeviewer/shared/src/commonMain/kotlin/org/jetbrains/codeviewer/ui/editor/Editor.kt


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.

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.

Kamel is an asynchronous media loading library for Compose Multiplatform.

Kotlin Compose Multiplatform is the way to do Desktop apps. https://github.com/JetBrains/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.
