Stellar Presentation is a presentation application for the desktop developed with Compose for Desktop. The app has features like full-screen mode and keyboard controls. Also, it supports different presentations and provides slide templates for new presentations. I’m using Stellar Presentation as showcase and presentation app for my talks about Compose.

Puzzlers have a long history in learning and understanding technology. This repository contains an Android app with Jetpack Compose puzzlers that I’ve posted on Twitter. It also links to solutions/explanations for the puzzlers.

To get deeper into Compose for Desktop, I’ve created an extensive demo app that contains Compose and desktop specific APIs. The demo app is my playground and starting point to test some features of Compose. I’ve open sourced it to give fellow developers a concise collection of the features and as a starting point to see what’s possible with Compose for Desktop.

A wrapper for the “Android Debug Bridge” (adb) tool that’s provided by the Android SDK. The tool makes it easier to use adb on the command line and provides some useful helper functions that are missing in adb. It’s written in Python 3 and uses the “Click” cli framework.

The Kotlin/Native Command Line Interface Kit is a library that makes it possible to easily develop CLI applications with Kotlin/Native. It provides a simple yet useful Kotlin DSL to define the application and supports Kotlin Multiplatform.
