Kotlin Multiplatform has a new, built-in Uuid type that you can use in your projects! Check out the video to learn about the available APIs. youtube.com/watch?v=V5EOsE…

Yo Google Play, how can this be the way that the detail page for an app opens, ever? I can see everything but the app I've just tapped on. In fact, the previous screen showed more info about it...

Friday is for fun emails.

Kotlin coroutines are great. Their core primitive is the suspending function. With a small change in your IDE settings, you can give them a custom color (like a bright green), which makes it easy to spot them at a glance, even when you're looking at a lot of code.

The only time that no autocompletion or AI suggestions show up in Gmail is when I need to write the most basic formulaic reply to someone. Of course.

Pet peeve: when a service only shows you a relative time on a post and makes it difficult of impossible to find the exact time. What do you mean "1 day ago", that doesn't even necessarily give me an exact day, not to mention hour or minute...

We are so back.

Why not... Just one IntelliJ IDEA? After successfully unifying PyCharm distributions earlier this year, we're now doing the same for IntelliJ IDEA! One build, with Ultimate features turned on if you have a license. blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2025/07/i…

People have been asking for the Git client from IntelliJ to be available as a standalone app for almost a decade. You can now get it in early access - see the link below for details! lp.jetbrains.com/closed-preview…

Official KMP support for Firebase is requested a lot whenever we talk to developers. If you want to let the team at Google know, please vote for and add a comment on this issue explaining why you want to see this: firebase.uservoice.com/forums/948424-…

Dear Spotify, The absolute last thing I want your app to do, on any platform, is to display anything that moves. Stop reopening panels and showing me videos. Please. PS. I'll also never ever use you to listen to a podcast, so if I could just disable all of that, would be great

Here's your latest reminder to stop using Gson with anything that touches Kotlin, as every alternative is much better. kotlinx.serialization is especially a great choice to be multiplatform-ready, with whatever code you're writing. proandroiddev.com/when-kotlin-ob…

One of the first things I do on a fresh IntelliJ install is clean up the toolbars. For example, I hide the Problems panel, because I don't expect to have problems anyway!

As Jetpack Compose evolves, so does Compose Multiplatform! The brand new dropShadow and innerShadow modifiers are now available for multiplatform with the 1.9.0-alpha03 release! Learn more about the APIs here: issuetracker.google.com/issues/1606651…
