Circuit: A Compose-based architecture for Android applications

Circuit is a Compose-based architecture for Android applications developed by Slack. It adopts Compose UI and powerful state management APIs to modernize the codebase and bring it from 2016 to 2022. Circuit leverages Compose's unidirectional data flow and provides a simple and cohesive solution for using Compose in the UI layer and powerful state management in the presenter layer. The library is designed to be easy to use, testable, and offers great testability with clear separation of UI and business logic. It also supports multi-platform development and can be used for command-line apps and desktop applications. While still in its early stages, Circuit has already been adopted by some teams at Slack and has received positive feedback. The library is open to contributions and feedback from the community.
