I migrated to the Android Screenshot Plugin, and I suddenly miss the Kover's code coverage. Here's the fix: hrach.dev/posts/androi...

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

Dokka 2.2.0 release is out! This version focuses on improving the new Dokka Gradle Plugin and K2 analysis, as well as refining documentation behavior. Read the full release notes: github.com/Kotlin/dokka... Follow the thread below for the key highlights ⬇️

Happy to see Afroman won the trial :D

hasUAVisualTransition landed in Firefox 149, making it available across all major engines. As well as having a very catchy name, it lets you avoid doubling up on page transitions. Here's how it works:

no, seriously, try r8 that comes with agp 9.2.0-alpha05+ it addresses github.com/Kotlin/kotli..., and turns out if you make atomic operations 2x faster, it makes the whole thing 2x faster when the library performs atomic operations almost exclusively under the hood

IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1 is out!

Doing an anti-import rework of my current project so i can source parts only from within the EU. Import tax is killing my electronics projects otherwise -.-

Compose Hot..Swan is finally here! 🦢 Compose HotSwan enables Compose Hot Reload in real Android devices, instant UI updates on your running Android app, with state preserved. No rebuilds, no relaunching, no navigating back to the same screen again. hotswan.dev

That moment when a "professional" repair shop on YouTube calls convex resistor arrays capacitors.. I can't with these people sometimes xD

📢 Kotlin 2.3.20 is out! Learn more: ➡️ kotl.in/2-3-20

For the new #Amiberry GUI, I needed a lightweight, efficient and flexible library that would be easily portable. Dear Imgui worked perfectly for this! I added a theme that resembles that AmigaOS retro feeling and colors. And even a Dark theme option is there! @ocornut.bsky.social

Check out a sample server using wasi-http built with our early #WebAssembly Component Model support in @Kotlin! 🤩 github.com/Kotlin/sampl... Still early, but very satisfying to see it working ✨ Give it a spin and share what you build 🚀 #Wasm #Kotlin #ComponentModel 1/2👇

Just looked at some stats and it looks like more than half of you are already on Kotlin 2.3, which is great! For those of you who aren't though: check out our release video to see what you're missing out on

New article! Did you know #Kotlin has mandatory varargs? ivan.canet.dev/blog/2026/03...

Off to go shit posting again.

@qwwdfsad.bsky.social Thank you so much for the follow! :)

Dokka for Material MkDocs 0.5.4 is out! • Kotlin 2.3.0 • Gradle 9.2.1 • Dokka 2.1.0 • Native breadcrumb support dokka-mkdocs.opensavvy.dev

Not my usual content, but made some classic bread dumplings for the second time and i finally nailed the ratio of ingredients, including the seasoning. Happy fox.

JetBrains IntelliJ Platform tooling hacking ALERT 🚨 I'm fixing issues in the tooling used for creating plugins for JetBrains IDEs. One bug to fix is caused by the new Android Studio archive naming. Join me now! 🫡 👉 www.twitch.tv/hszanowski 👉 www.youtube.com/@hszanowski

As a paying Prime customer, i am now getting ads. Feels great.

KGP docs are severely broken. The package-list is completely unusable, making it impossible to link against it with Dokka in any project. youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-843...

Releasing today: 'ProggyForever': a new MIT-licensed scalable font designed to closely match ProggyClean which happily served as Dear ImGui default font for 10+ years: github.com/ocornut/prog... The new font is now embedded by default in Dear ImGui (compressed down to ~14 KB).

I want to take a second to appreciate @sebi.io giving me a chance to extend my talk abstract even tho i didn't manage to deliver. I hope i can try again for next KotlinConf :)

Our GitLab server and some other services might experience some downtime within the next 48 hours due to a scheduled hardware upgrade. We apologize in advance and thank you for your patience :) -AH

TIL kotlinx.benchmark does support suspend benchmark functions in theory, but they're just missing the required glue code. Non-web via runBlocking and web via returning a Promise, which the runtime already supports. Why not implement a runBenchmark like with kotlin.test? :D

Benchmarked my async IO library for KMP against kolintx.io for the first time today on native. Looks promising :D

Me: You wanna review this merge request? @cach30verfl0w.bsky.social: Which one? I already reviewed that one. Me: Nah, the one i just sent you lmao @cach30verfl0w.bsky.social: Fuck off, don't act like i check my messages You may not like it, but this is what peak communication looks like.

Software devs coming to teach you clean architecture in 2026. Now more than ever

The overuse of Gen AI is great actually! It makes more people more annoyed by it, leading to a quicker decline of usage.

Kotlin Test breaks badly on WASM/JS targets if your test function names contain spaces 🥲 The Gradle HTML report mechnism just hard-crashes with an IOOB exception lmao. That didn't happen before in Gradle 9.2.1, only since i updated to 9.3.0 this seems to be an issue lmao.

PSA: Starting Android Gradle Plugin 9.0 (or the latest stable version of R8): R8 will automatically optimize all Intrinsics.check* APIs in Kotlin automatically ! This should greatly help improve app performance (especially Compose given the large Kotlin library API surface).

The interesting applications of AI are all, like, "we built an open framework that uses processors on recycled cell phones to identify and triangulate the location of rare bugs in tropical rainforests" while big tech is going "what if we burned down that rainforest to summarize your emails?"

The Kotlin ecosystem might not choose a strict 'SemVer' notation (and it's gonna be fine!) blog.sellmair.io/the-kotlin-e...

DHL has been really testing my patience over the last week(s) -.-

When I find myself working in a big pile of metaphorical manure, I can always bring out this email I received on this day, nine years ago...

okay but you might wanna actually watch star trek first

We are experiencing a small outage due to issues at our hoster. GitLab and all other sevices should be up again in a couple minutes. -AH
