# Persona IM A reimplementation of the instant messaging app seen in Persona 5 for Android using Compose UI. > [!NOTE] > This is _not_ a functioning messaging app. It simulates a single conversation to demonstrate how such an app would be implemented in Compose UI. Persona 5 has one of the most stylish user interfaces, including its in-game messaging app! This repository attempts to answer what it might look like if it were a real app, and how it could be built for Android. ### Copyright ©ATLUS ©SEGA All art and character designs in this repository are the property of Atlus Co., Ltd.

For native English speakers the KotlinConf version is probably a more enjoyable watch since I didn't have to slow down for interpretation. Slides in both English and Japanese can be [found here on Speaker Deck](https://speakerdeck.com/chrishorner/creative-compose-ui). The slightly longer KotlinConf slides in English [are available here](https://speakerdeck.com/chrishorner/creative-uis-with-compose-kotlinconf-2025).
