I notice that
```
    Syncthing-For
    k
```
is one of the first pieces of text in the first screenshot. With the k on its own line like that. Not usually something I’d comment on, but if you’re showing off a redesign…

  It's annoying and easy to forget, but you have to enable the high-quality line break algorithm per Text component in Compose. Or you have to set two flags (maxLines=1 and overflow=TextOverflow.Ellipsis). I usually end up with a TitleText and BodyText component in my codebases that set these flags internally so I don't have to remember.

    I wasn't sure if this was a joke about Android being unintuitive so I was sad to see that enabling high quality line breaks is indeed something you have to configure:

    That document literally says that high quality option is the default.

    No, it doesn't. It says:
    > Should be a default
    Meaning the developer should opt-in to this explicitly but choose it as the default option. The actual default is no strategy at all.
