00:05:32 Welcome
00:47:30 Q: TextView.java on AOSP is almost 9000 lines of code. Text is much more complex than many people realise. How have you approached that complexity in Compose?

01:05:00 Q: Hi guys, is there any way to get the selected text when using SelectionContainer()? I want a custom text tool bar but have no idea how to get the selected text.

01:20:00 Q: Any plans to implement an HTML parser in Compose for formatting text and links, like we have in views (with things like Linkify)?

01:29:50 Q: How much extra complexity do variable fonts bring?
