Nobody official ever wrote the formula everyone quotes. But the shape keeps getting rediscovered independently, and the constraints it imposes are the whole product. My stance, the honest bear case, and what I still haven't proved.

Every other cross-platform framework makes you buy the whole runtime. KMP lets you choose how far up the stack you share, feature by feature. Here's the dial, what each detent costs, and who's actually paying for it.
An agent that can't tell whether its change worked will loop, confidently, until your tokens run out. Most of the 1.0 cycle went into fixing that.
rk snapshot renders real Compose screens from seeded store state and diffs them against goldens. Plus a semantics dump that catches what pixel diffing misses.
An in-app debug drawer, a desktop monitor with time travel, and a CLI that prints one JSON object per line: three surfaces over one instrumented store.
A singleton store survives rotation for free and dies with the process. StateSaver fixes that in four lines. Then there's the bug you hit after it works.
No provider, no CompositionLocal, no hooks. You pass the store as a parameter, and each component binds exactly the slice it renders. Then you prove it with a test.
store.subscribe fires on every dispatch, so everyone hand-rolls the same re-read-and-compare boilerplate. subscribeTo does the diffing and only calls back on change.
The thread-safe store I recommended in 2020 put a lock around every function, including getState. ConcurrentStore keeps writes serialized and makes reads lock-free.
The exact KMP target matrix for ReduxKotlin 1.0: what every module supports, what got dropped, and the single platform shim the Redux layer actually needs.
ReduxKotlin 1.0.0-alpha04 is on Maven Central. A concurrent store, granular subscriptions, Compose bindings, DevTools, and a CLI. Here is what changed, and why.
Publishing artifacts for multiplatform Kotlin is a bit more complicated than a JVM project. If you are supporting all of Kotlin's platforms, then need at least
Writing code with Redux for web really doesn't require consideration of threading and concurrent modification of variables. Given Javascript is single threaded
Apple has always valued great user experience. Its App store is guarded by App store reviews with the authority to reject anything that does not meet its standa
A common pattern is to delay execution of some code for a given amount of time. In Android and iOS there are several ways to do, such as the above snippet. How
Earlier this year I began work on ReduxKotlin.org – a port of the Javascript library Redux. This series of posts will describe the what, why, how, and the visio
