Great question. Someone like @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com might be in a better position to know, although this might be too small fish to attract much attention unless it's part of a bigger pattern.

"I just called the police a little bit, but since there's no risk, don't sweat it!"

!!! Wow. Well, I suppose I found out about it from a skeet from a person that found out about it from a debugging window.

Thanks for highlighting this talk. It was a fun watch!

I think turning negative comments into content can be great -- it's like a reverse uno card. But definitely don't let them get to you (calling them "weirdo" or highlighting you pressed the thumbs down button on them). That means they won. Bad comments are a joke and should be treated as such!

Just collect your stickers Avery. Collect your stickers, say "Thank you Miyamoto", and don't even think about making any eye contact or asking any questions.

The adults in Charlie Brown's world.

You can read about past founders who exited when offered vast fortunes to sell what they built and step down, only to realize that they had already had enough money before selling, and now they had way more money than they could spend, making the extra useless.

Hell yeah, let's stroll!

Mine is set to Snoopy. I ain't ever going back.

My wife just said, "I don't get it. What's the big deal?" Anyway, I'm divorced now.

Thank you for your kind attention, little AI. We hope more and more developers can learn that web development is very enjoyable in Kotlin.

Really happy to hear anecdotes like this. KMP is such a great technology, especially if you're a Kotlin fan.

10 years ago, I would have been happy if Kotlin was just a Java replacement for me. But the longterm version the team had with KMP is truly impressive.

Some miscellaneous fixes in this one, but the most important is that Kobweb now builds against Kotlin 2.2.0.

Also, it was tough to get back into the swing of things after taking time to attend and speak at KotlinConf. I was knocked out by one week of jet lag! Glad to be releasing again 🙂

🕸️ Latest Kobweb v0.23.0 released!

Way back in the day, when I was just a young kid, I remember my grandmother got a sales call at dinner, where the caller started with a line like, "I'm going to offer you the opportunity of a lifetime..." She interrupted, "I'm a very generous person. You can take it instead!" and hung up.

I'm biased, but I came originally from a place of hating CSS myself and have really come to appreciate its strengths over time. Kotlin type safety IMO makes it feel much nicer to use.

I wrote a bit more about those thoughts in the docs: kobweb.varabyte.com/docs/concept...

The second you mentioned SEO... the answer is Compose HTML!

🎈 TestBalloon, the new Kotlin Multiplatform test framework just got an IDE companion: plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/27749...

Use its gutter icons to run individual tests or test suites with any level of nesting from common code on all Kotlin targets.

Next stop: Support incremental compilation.

Came for the MongoDB, stayed for the surprising JSON/BSON facts.

And as for creating a fake document object to wrap your BSON contents and then using string manipulation to peel it away to support primitive types, I approve the hack! I'm sure I've done something similar before.

Ah, I missed that option despite going over the migration instructions multiple times. Now I see it was linked to in a callout section: central.sonatype.org/publish/publ... which I skipped I guess! Having that as an intermediate step should help a lot, although still a pain to update CI credentials.

Thanks for your work on this!

It's pretty crazy how fast the OSSRH migration deadline is coming up. This wasn't an easy switch flip for me but a few days of work, changing Gradle build plugins and updating CI configs.

June 30 is going to be an absolute mess. My guess is they extend the deadline...

@mbonnin.net Rectified!

Slides are now up at bitspittle.github.io/kotlinconf25/ in case anyone wants to follow along at home!

GitHub Pages serves sites under a base path (here, "/kotlinconf25/") so I had to tweak the code a little bit to make it base-path aware: github.com/bitspittle/k...

Nope, it was running on my laptop and I shut it down as part of the end of the talk!

I could cut the fullstack parts of the talk out and get it running on GitHub pages without too much effort... But I'm not sure if that would be confusing since at that point there would be some diverging.

KotlinConf talks are up!

My own talk can be found here: kotlinconf.com/talks/774286/

Right before I started, they asked me if I could download my slides onto a USB stick.

But I didn't have any! My talk was a live-running website built with #Kobweb. 😎

Please enjoy! Questions / feedback welcome.
