Fantastic library, and what's even better: it's multiplatform!

Check out the mentions of both kotlinconf-app and Compose Multiplatform in the post! 👀🎉
Jetpack Navigation 3 is stable! 🎉🎉🎉

Leaning into Jetpack Compose and the idea of combining smaller building blocks together really helped make Nav3 a much more flexible library that made it a joy to work on and hopefully for you to use as well!
