Hi, when it comes to the Kotlin Contest, does Android and WearOS count as two different platforms? Just making sure I understand the requirements correctly. The rule says "Use Kotlin Multiplatform and run on at least two platforms."

kodee welcoming Quick question: Do you need another live Q&A session about KMP before the contest submission deadline on January 14? 👍 Yes, that would be helpful! 👎 No, I’m all set.

Hey, I am about to submit my project for the contest. I wanted to share my api keys through a secure document. However, the contest instructs us to bundle the api keys with the app. I think they might get revoked. I'm not sure what to do and I have to submit in about 2 hours

Please help. I have worked on it for 3 months now. And I'm just ready to submit. I don't want my work to go to waste.

I just submitted my entry, literally last minute XD

Wrote the best essay I could in 10 minutes

In retrospective, it was stressful. I think I had like 9 days total to work on the project lol. I planned to do it during the holidays but the Surface I brought with me wouldn't work with kotlin-js/wasm due to its ARM processor so I was out of luck until I came back home. Glad it's over now XD

By the way, do we all get Kotlin merch like earlier years or is it for the winners only now?

Thank you for submitting your projects - they look fantastic! Due to the high number of submissions, our judges need a bit more time to thoroughly evaluate everyone’s work. The contest results will now be announced on January 30 instead of January 24. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience! kodee loving

Hi everyone, we know you’ve been eagerly waiting for the results, and we truly appreciate your patience! 🙌 To ensure fairness and a thorough review, we’re taking a bit more time to carefully re-evaluate the shortlisted projects. We want to make sure every submission gets the detailed consideration it deserves. Thanks for bearing with us - we’ll be announcing the final results tomorrow, on January 31. 💜

Hi @Ksenia Shneyveys, I participated in the Kotlin Multiplatform contest and was wondering when the souvenirs will be shipped. Do you have any updates on the delivery timeline? Thanks!

Is there any shipment tracking link that we can use?

Having a shipment tracking code would be really helpful. Courier and delivery services are unfortunately not much reliable here, specially the international ones. Confronting them with a tracking code helps a lot in this case.

Hi folks, understood. Let's give @Ksenia Shneyveys some time to answer 🙂 Thank you!

you can't escape two things: death and taxes 🧌sad panda

Hi everyone! kodee welcoming Here’s an update regarding the issue with the taxes. Our logistics company will be reaching out to you directly to reimburse the tax that was mistakenly charged. • If you haven’t paid the tax yet, please do not pay - they will handle it for you. • If you have already paid, and you don’t hear from them by the end of this week, please send me a DM so I can follow up. Apologies for the inconvenience!

I just received the t-shirt today!

Cool swag, thanks JetBrains and all teams

Hello friends! I have solid experience in Android Jetpack SDK, Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), Compose Multiplatform, and iOS development using SwiftUI. I'm also skilled in API development using Python Flask or Ktor server, and I can handle both SQL and NoSQL databases. I'm comfortable working with: Supabase Firebase PythonAnywhere PostgreSQL The main point is—if there's anyone else at a similar level who still doesn’t have a job or freelancing project, feel free to connect with me. Let’s talk and figure out why we’re not getting hired or paid.
