📊 Building a Kotlin Multiplatform app often means choosing libraries for several core needs. Ktor can handle networking across client and server applications, Koin can help organize dependencies, and Kermit can provide consistent logging from shared code. 🌐 Ktor – build asynchronous clients and servers, from multiplatform HTTP clients to backend services. kotl.in/tvrfc4 🧩 Koin – add lightweight dependency injection to Kotlin and Kotlin Multiplatform projects. kotl.in/v6iu1s 🪵 Kermit – add flexible multiplatform logging to shared Kotlin code. kotl.in/psk7fx Together, they cover practical parts of KMP development – networking, dependency injection, and logging.
