Since the foregroundStyle() modifier was introduced in iOS 15, it’s been the preferred way to color text and symbols in SwiftUI. Unlike the now-deprecated foregroundColor(), it accepts a ShapeStyle, supporting gradients and other advanced styling: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/ForegroundColorStyleAndTintInSwiftUI/#foreground-style

This has been the biggest feature request by far and it's finally coming. Filter your game library by a variety of parameters, including status, platform, rating, genre, game mode, player perspective, developer, publisher, story & overall progress. #soon #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic

Spotted a problem with .textInputAutocapitalization(.words) in a SwiftUI TextField.

It will auto capitalize each word UNLESS you start using swipe typing. Then it doesn’t.

Thanks to @RobW for asking me to add to add this feature. That led me spot this.

A simple thing that I do all the time in SwiftUI: apply a .border(.red, width: 1.0) to views to make sure the layout meets my expectations. If there are several views, I use different colors. Sometimes, this reveals interesting situations.

Wait, .padding() on macOS uses iOS default spacing (16pt) instead of macOS default (20pt)?! Is this that bad? Tell me I'm doing something dumb. It can't be that bad. #SwiftUI #MacDev

Inspired by an episode of #atpfm last year, would love feedback on my latest app, SleepTag. It imports your sleep data and lets you tag it with activities/information to help you better understand what affects your sleep. 100% #swiftui and a lot of Swift Charts!
