Key hurdles included waiting for SQLDelight to add web support, Coil's image loading crashing in browsers due to Node.js-specific Okio filesystem assumptions (requiring a switch to Kamel), and Firebase Crashlytics lacking web support entirely. SQLDelight's async web worker model required making all database calls suspendable, causing cascading changes throughout the codebase — particularly around dependency injection with Koin. Additional work involved configuring sql.js and WASM files via webpack, initializing the js-joda timezone library, adapting the mobile-first UI with adaptive layouts for wider screens, and handling multiplatform resources and localization. Most shared code was retained via KMP and Compose Multiplatform, but the web target required more platform-specific adjustments than anticipated. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
