https://medium.com/media/a9a3748121a191830750225521b6dffb/href In Russell Wolf's captivating lightning talk, he takes us on a journey through the history of his library, Multiplatform Settings. Surprisingly, it has already been 5 years since its initial launch and it's great to see it's continued development (and the release of v1.0.0) as one of the cornerstone libraries of multiplatform development. One of the important messages in his talk is for us to remember that this is an open source library and requires the communities support to help its future development. It's always worth remembering to contribute to open source you don't have to contribute code. You can find my thoughts on more KotlinConf'23 talks at KotlinConf'23. Please let me know your thoughts.
