Hi! I'm TJ and I wrote the Android state holder and state production docs some 4 years ago. Back then I highlighted 2 ways to produce state in a ViewModel for a Compose UI consumer:

• With the well known and battle tested StateFlow

• With the new and somewhat quirky Compose snapshot State

These days, to give your users the best Compose experience, and if your tooling allows, I think Compose State > StateFlow, even in the ViewModel. The blog post goes into detail why.
