Learned how to use the ConstraintLayout composable in Jetpack Compose and used that to fix a bunch of UX bugs in my Compose playground app, also started learning how to use Kotlin's multiplatform-friendly libraries so I can eventually use this same codebase to develop a desktop version :D

I learn to correctly import old ES5 modules in both snowpack and Rollup. Took me a while to narrow it down to the problem.
