Shout-Out to Kotlin Multiplatform Content Creators!
Kotlin Multiplatform is steadily progressing toward Stable, and the technology’s ecosystem is continuing to expand and mature. None of this would be possible without the community’s contributions. In order to celebrate the community’s creation of articles, videos, and samples, we regularly run the Kotlin Multiplatform Content Creators Recognition Campaign. Today, we would like to share some great new content that will inspire learners and make the official resources more complete.

It’s never too late to become a part of the growing community of Kotlin Multiplatform content creators. Once every three months, the Kotlin team chooses their favorite new content and promotes it by:
- Mentioning it in a post on the Kotlin Blog.
- Featuring it on the official @Kotlin Twitter account, Kotlin Slack, and Youtube Community.
- Including it in the relevant Kotlin Multiplatform documentation articles.
Looking for content ideas? Here is a list of the most requested Kotlin Multiplatform topics:
- Experiments with cutting-edge tools and libraries, for example, Kotlin Multiplatform libraries in Jetpack.
- Improving iOS developer experience
- Use cases – what have you shared with Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile?
- Migrating large projects to Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile.
Don’t hesitate to share your thoughts about any other topics that interest you. We are excited by how much our community has to say, and we’re looking forward to seeing what you create! Don’t forget to add the #kotlinmultiplatform tag if the media platform you are using allows it.
To make sure we don’t miss your articles, videos, sample projects, or content of any other type, please drop us a link at kmm.feedback@kotlinlang.org.
The Kotlin team would like to thank all of the ecosystem’s contributors and content creators. Your input is invaluable, and together we’ll make Kotlin Multiplatform even better!
