      Jetpack Compose offers a declarative approach to building UIs in Android. However, like any UI framework, optimization is key to achieving smooth performance and a great user experience. This detailed guide expands on the provided checklist, offering in-depth explanations and practical code examples for each optimization technique. I.

Consistency Across Communities- Other projects and platforms, such as Github, Gitlab, and software frameworks, also made similar changes. Modern Naming Conventions- main is a cleaner and more intuitive name, as it represents the primary branch of a repository.
