(question) what layout managers are planned? about compose-multiplatform HOT 5 CLOSED

Well, for me perfect layout manager is something like ConstraintLayout in android/ios. It is much easier to use than hbox/vbox in javafx or html/flutter counterparts. I know that people that comes from web, like those solutions. I started with java servers, then jumped into Android. So relative layout and later constraint layout are very easy to use. Jumping into ios was also easy. Using flutter/javafx is like jumping with tied legs into mountain. Doable but frustrating ;)

Please suggest what are your requirements for the layout manager?

Any concrete examples of what is simple in ConstraintLayout but complex in Flutter? After watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUfXWzp0-DU, I thought Flutter solution was way superior to e.g. web

Flex is so similar to both javafx and web. Examples - real life layout from client that took me few minutes in constraint layout in both ios and android. In flutter i had so many flex issues (something wasn't stretching as it should etc.). As i said, it is my own opinion and you might like flex/vbox/hbox :) for me they are less friendly in complex designs

I saw the example code, it is very much like flutter's dart code. The UI code is intuitive.

Just describe your UI, and Compose takes care of the rest. As app state changes, your UI automatically updates.
