Accessibility (and testing) in Jetpack Compose is done via [Modifier.semantics](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/testing#semant...).


Compose is based on Kotlin Compiler Plugin. I'm not sure that you can use it from Scala for now.


This is Desktop interpretation of Google's Jetpack Compose done by JetBrains team.

I guess, for Alpha stage they are not targeting wide audience but mostly people that are familiar with Compose (or wanted to try it).

In most cases you can just copy-paste your Android UI layer or make it cross-platform (like in this code-viewer example https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/examples...)


Do you have plans to support non-MacOS platforms in the future?


We intend to, but as we are working on this project on the side, there is no real timeline yet, sorry


Good luck with the project anyway.


That's a very good idea! Are you going to monetize your project or (maybe) open-source code and/or data?


Yes. I do want to monetize the project so that there is incentive for me to keep working on it for a long time. My current plan is to allow companies to post job openings on the site and charge them for that. I think it's a win win for both the readers and the companies.

I want to open source the project at some point. My full time job is working for an open source project. Open source projects require a lot of time and attention from the maintainers to make it sucessfull. I am not ready for that yet. But hopefully oneday.


Actually you can self-host it: https://github.com/HabitRPG/habitica
