We released our Compose UI Components one day after the official Jetpack Compose 1.0 release and our team members have been working hard on it since then. Now it's mature and stable enough for us to officially recommend it for all new applications and all modern chat implementations. If you're looking for something highly customizable and extremely performant, check out our Compose SDK. -
