Graphics in Kotlin and Compose UI meetup

After a “short” break, we are back! Welcome to our March 2026 meetup, devoted to graphics in Kotlin. We will have two talks:

Igor Spasić – Drawing with Skiko

An introduction to Skiko (Skia for Kotlin), the graphics library powering Compose Multiplatform. A practical dive into Skiko’s rendering API: working with Canvas, Paint, and Path primitives, then pushing further into custom GLSL shaders.

Bojan Novaković – Compose Journey: What we learned along the way

Compose UI introduces a declarative, state-driven way of building Android interfaces, transforming how developers design and reason about apps. In this talk, we will highlight how Compose integrates with common patterns such as MVVM and MVI, while focusing on practical lessons learned along the way. We’ll explore best practices and some gotchas. The goal is to show how Compose is not just a toolkit, but a mindset shift toward clarity, predictability, and maintainable UI design.
