In recent challenging months within the tech industry, marked by layoffs and downsizing, the question arises: What steps can one take when faced with unemployment? In my case, I made the decision to finally undertake a complete rewrite of my cocktail app, which had garnered over 500K downloads but had been neglected for over 8 years.

During my presentation, I will delve into the journey of resurrecting this application, shedding light on the significant hurdles and struggles encountered along the way. From a technical standpoint, I will share insights into leveraging Kotlin Multiplatform and utilizing Compose Multiplatform to seamlessly extend the application to iOS.

Join me as I recount the revitalization of a once-abandoned project, exploring the challenges faced and the technical strategies employed to breathe new life into the cocktail app.
