Kite
Runtime utilities for Kotlin Multiplatform, for the pieces that commonMain does not have.
KiteCore has four platform primitives (ioDispatcher, asyncWithProgress, WeakRef and Platform), a portable String.format, and a short list of coroutine and Flow helpers. Its only dependency is kotlinx-coroutines-core. It runs on Android, the JVM, iOS, macOS, JS and Wasm.
