I just published a post on how to define custom environment values in #SwiftUI, eliminate boilerplate with the Entry macro in Xcode 16, and pass data through the view hierarchy efficiently:

A friend got me a nice metal shader that draws a background pattern on top of a color. I apply it as a #SwiftUI colorEffect as shown below, mostly because I have no clue how any of this works
Can I make this nicer:
- somehow get rid of the GeoReader that the shader needs?
- somehow turn the stuff into a ShapeStyle/Material, so that I can use it in other contexts but Views?

Ugh, using #TipKit on UIKit is a painful & buggy experience

It's quite obvious that this framework was made for #SwiftUI, and #UIKit was an afterthought

Passed B2 #goethe german exam, now I can finally focus on #react and #swiftUI again :)

I’m considering starting ’Hacking with Swift’s ’100 days of SwiftUI’. I’ve been working actively with SwiftUI for more than 2 years, so it should be easy, but it is a comittment. Has anyone here tried it, and if so, is it any good? https://www.hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui #swiftui #swift

Is there anyone who can help me with #SwiftUI #PropertyWrapper and #DynamicProperty it is not working as I expect it to work, https://forums.swift.org/t/dynamicproperty-propertywrapper-is-not-working-as-i-expect-it-to-work/78422 #swift #swiftlang

Yesterday out of frustration with all the different character limits, I built an app to auto split longer posts for me so that I can focus on what I want to communicate and not on if it fits nicely into a post on a certain platform. Hit me up for the super rough early beta And if you have suggestions about the name or the design or anything, I’ll appreciate your help. That’s how it works currently (1/1)

Today I discovered an extremely strange behavior in a .toolbar:
All three buttons share the same code, but the last button closest to the .trailing side automatically offsets its content exactly 8 pixels. This can’t be intentional, can it?
#SwiftUI

I got my latest @keyboardkit.bsky.social app update rejected by Apple because it "mimics the Settings screen", which violates guideline 5.2.5 Legal: Intellectual Property - Apple Products. The screen is just a #SwiftUI list with some icons and has always been approved since I redesigned the app

Buttons inside a #SwiftUI List row can cause the entire row to become tappable and trigger multiple buttons at once, but applying a specific button style ensures each button works independently: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/MultipleButtonsInListRows/

I’ve just released a new update to MovieWeekly!

This update adds home screen widgets, letting you quickly see a movie from your tracked list and how many days remain until its release. You can even choose which movie to display for easy access!

Big thanks to @StewartLynch for his great tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBn01m5Vbs4BBJTDI-9akcqD7iMTZGI9W) that helped me implement this!

I’d love to get feedback, feel free to join the beta and try it out:
