LGTM!
One last thing though, was this tested on an unsupported device? Just to make sure that it doesn't crash.

LGTM!!!

Just curious - what's the reason for setting min to 21?

@citytexi It's to support every version Compose itself supports. This is a UI library for Compose, so it kinda makes sense.

While the default KMP templates sets the minSdk to SDK 24 by default, most of androidx supports SDK 21 just fine (some even lower), and there's not much UI-wise that is different on Android 5 compared to, say, Android 7, so it's not a maintenance hurdle if you're already trying to support Android 7.

It might make sense for an app, but a library should always strive to maximize compatibility, so apps get to make the choice. Even as a no-op.
