I've just released a couple libraries for Kotlin:

• JokeAPI 0.9.0

  • Retrieve jokes from Sv443's JokeAPI

  val joke = joke()
  val safe = joke(safe = true)
  val pun = joke(categories = setOf(Category.PUN))
  

• CryptoPrice 1.0.1

  • Retrieve cryptocurrencies current prices

  val btc = spotPrice("BTC") // Bitcoin
  val eth = sellPrice("ETH", "EUR") // Ethereum in Euro
  val eth = buyPrice("LTC", "GBP") // Litecoin in Pound sterling

I've just released the first multiplatform version of the UrlEncoder for Kotlin library. A simple defensive library to encode/decode URL components.

UrlEncoderUtil.encode("?test=a test", allow = "?=") // -> ?test=a%20test
UrlEncoderUtil.decode("foo+bar", plusToSpace = true) // -> foo bar

Big shout-out to Adam for getting this going.
