📝 Early Lessons in Adopting SwiftUI https://redalemeden.com/blog/2019/swift-ui-early-lessons

My Screen Time summary for last week. The time I used to spend on Twitter and Mastodon has shifted to reading, writing, and—ahem—browsing Reddit.

Not long ago, I started toying with the idea of rolling out a custom-built microblog instead of relying on third party platforms. Today, I am happy to launch a modest first iteration…

This is good news for the creative community at large, especially as Blender seems to be heading in the right direction UX-wise, making 3D modeling more accessible. https://www.blender.org/press/epic-games-supports-blender-foundation-with-1-2-million-epic-megagrant/

If you’re still trying to wrap your around what SwiftUI’s GeometryReader/Proxy are capable of, you won’t find a better resource than this series of articles. Well written and even better researched. https://swiftui-lab.com/

“This is probably the best overview I’ve seen.” ☺️

While #SwiftUI is stealing the thunder of UI/AppKit, understanding how stacking views work on a deeper level is timeless knowledge. Every platform implementation is a slight rearrangement of the same concepts, incl. CSS flexbox and SwiftUI H/V/Z stacks.

I’m super thrilled to be a guest writer on NSHipster, a site I’ve learnt so much from throughout the years.

✏️ New blog entry: "Swift's Killer Feature" #SwiftUI

Animated GIF support in SwiftUI. Still WIP, but happy with the progress so far. 🤓 #SwiftUI #WWDC19

Mastodon single column is looking neat. I've never used Tweetdeck outside of work and I was not a huge fan of how Mastodon implemented multi-column layouts.

I’m a bit torn on the national dex thing. On one hand I really enjoy catching them ALL. On the other, I was always concerned that the ever growing number of Pokémon will stifle innovation going forward. If we get more immersive and technically impressive games going forward, I’m willing to accept this trade off.

This year’s WWDC is my favorite since the original Swift announcement. Apple did everything I could have ever hoped for, and then some more. Currently writing a short piece about the importance and timing of SwiftUI.
