Using Jetpack Compose?

[wtimme]

According to the documentation,

Jetpack Compose is Android’s recommended modern toolkit for building native UI.
It simplifies and accelerates UI development on Android.
Quickly bring your app to life with less code, powerful tools, and intuitive Kotlin APIs.

I've made first steps with Jetpack Compose in Chord Reader 2 (on a local branch). In order to be able to use Jetpack Compose, it looks like we need to bump the following versions:

• compileSdkVersion to 33 (currently: 32)
• minSdkVersion to 21 (currently: 19)
• targetSdkVersion to 33 (currently: 32)

Since I'm new to Android development, I am not sure whether there are workarounds for this, or if this is unavoidable.

@AndInTheClouds, what's your take on this? Do you think we could bump the versions so that we can use Jetpack Compose?
