  AI generation adapts to anything you ask. A bash script adapts to nothing. After a few months of scaffolding KMP feature modules both ways, I know which one I trust.

• Change the Map: Feature Flags and Remote Config in Kotlin Multiplatform

  13 Jul, 2026

  | KMP Bits

  A driver changes the engine map from the wheel, mid-race, no pit stop required. Feature flags do the same for your app: change behaviour without shipping a build. Here's how I structure flags and remote config once, in commonMain, for both platforms.

• The Same System: Advanced expect/actual in KMP

  expect/actual is easy until you leave the trivial expect fun behind. Here's what bites with expect classes, constructors, actual typealiases, and the compiler rules nobody warns you about.

• Homologated: Publishing Your Kotlin Multiplatform Library to Maven Central

  Before a race car can compete, it needs to be homologated. Before your KMP library can be used by anyone, it needs Maven Central.

• The Pit Crew: Advanced Ktor Client Configuration for KMP

  25 May, 2026

  | KMP Bits

  The pit crew doesn't wait to be asked. They intercept the car, do their work, and the driver rejoins the race. Ktor plugins work the same way: auth, logging, and retry all happen before your business logic sees a thing.
