Yes! I love Ktor videos. Can't wait for the KMM videos as well. Thank you Philipp

Hey Phillip last week I learnt ktor client for android and I thought you will put a video on that.
Coo I predicted it.
You are better teacher.

[kinggeorges]

Thanks for the video and efforts you are putting to help people you don't even know. Stay blessed

[mattgraves]

I appreciate that we implement the interface with KTOR.

[bertafitocasas]

Hi! Thank you very much. You seem to have saved our project :)

[azamovdev]

I have been using Retrofit2 for a long time, after this video I realized that ktor is very light and easy, thank you very much

[sergeytarasov]

Phillip, you explain it so easy and good, I am very impressed, thank you.

Hi Phillip, thank you so much for the video. It has opened my eyes quite a a bit as I would like to get into native app development. My question is, would it be possible to use generics for the post service so that the code doesn't need to be copied and pasted so many times?

[slayer]

This is impressive, thanks for sharing.

[SuessesSumpfhuhn]

Hey Philipp, thanks for this amazing video! I'd need to know how to send more complex client requests with parameters and basic authentication details to the server. Could you maybe do a second video on this?

[richardwilkinson]

Once again awesome video :) Is there another video to explain how to consolidate input fields into json and POST??

[CarlosSilva-mmpy]

Hi Phillip, could you record a video about MVVM + Clean Architecture + FirebaseAuth / FirebaseRealTimeDataBase, I have many doubts about this and I believe it will help not only me but others as well. Great video.😆😆😆

[marlonlom]

Hi Phillip, thank you so much for the video. wanna ask about unit testing ktor client and spi implementation using mocks, the json examples and its usang in unit and integratin tests :)

[raheemadamboev]

Hey Philipp! Could you make a tutorial about creating your own android library and publishing with the help of jitpack in gradle 7.0 please

[sebastianpalm]

Great video as always I have one question how do you configure the client to accept self signed certificates?

[re_allyedge]

Hey Philipp! Could you make a tutorial about Authentication using both Ktor server and Ktor client?

[fnax]

Very good video and library! Can it be used for xml apis ?

[khanzadakashif]

I can't decide what's more creative,
Your videos or your thumbnails...😆

[Coldalecs]

Very good info! But this is already outdated, for example instead of `install(JsonFeature)` you now have Good work, Philipp!

[coldwolf]

Good video, did not know ktor can be used in Android as well.
