There's more than a mouse - how to truly integrate your app on the Desktop
With Compose Multiplatform, it has become easier than ever to bring your apps to the Desktop. However, to achieve a deep integration into the platform, it takes more than porting the UI. Like mobile platforms, the Desktop has unique interaction features, for example drag and drop, file associations, menu bars, system tray, and the system clipboard. Compose Multiplatform assists you in utilizing some of them, but a true integration takes more. This talk identifies Desktop-specific interaction features and explains how to integrate them into your app, using Compose Multiplatform and some additional libraries.
