A few weeks ago I wrapped up a project in which I had the opportunity to work with Swift Charts, the SwiftUI framework from Apple for transforming data into awesome visualizations ✨ The knowledge I gained led to this beginner's guide to Swift Charts 📈 engineering.monstar-lab.com/en/post/2023/1…

Tomorrow we’re hosting October’s @copenhagencocoa at @Monstarlab_EMEA 🍂 We’re joined by @elkraneo talking about Vision Pro, @esnahel on image loading in SwiftUI, and @philipengberg sharing his indie path 🌸 This event is full, but we’ll announce more🚀 meetu.ps/e/MwJ25/t96D5/i

Agree with everything said +- some details in the bidding process that made it even worse. On the dev side, they didn't even change the package name

Some of the work I'm most proud of, is the work that I did on the DOT Ticket app. We spent so much time and effort and truly caring about every little detail. Today I learned that a new version app has been made. Heres a rant about caring about the details ↓

@serg_stav Well.. that would be nice, but unfortunately it's not possible. SwiftUI only works on iOS 13 and above

@marius_const Even in iOS < 13.0?)

What if I told you you don't _have_ to keep using UIKit? engineering.monstar-lab.com/en/post/2023/0… I wrote an article showing how you can use SwiftUI, even if you're working in a UIKit project.

Getting my current project to run on visionOS was just a matter of selecting the Vision Pro simulator and running it. Now, there's a difference between getting it to run and having an optimal user experience (fonts are quite small 😅), but it's amazingly easy to get started 🤩

We've also updated the Human Interface Guidelines to help you design for visionOS, learn more about spatial inputs and spatial layout, create stunning immersive experiences, and a whole lot more. 🖤 developer.apple.com/design/human-i…

Looks like we’re getting the vision SDK today 😁 apple.com/newsroom/2023/…

We've added one more #VisionPro workshop to #tryswiftnyc! Learn how to integrate accessible features into the spatial computing context w/ @elkraneo. Get your ticket by July 1st before the ticket price increase 🐥 🥽 🗽 #iosdev #visionos #swiftlang tryswift.co/events/2023/ny…

@hybridcattt Newsletters can wait, take care of yourself, Marina 😊

took a mental health break from twitter, so no newsletter today ☺️

This year I had the honour to be part of the team at @swiftheroes_it that evaluates the talk proposals in their Call for Papers. A few thoughts on it. Ah, who am I kidding, rant time! 🧵

The links is only valid for 24 hours 😊

I can say the iOS community there is super nice and reminds me of the good old days on this platform I used to love. If you wanna join, here’s an invite link mastodon.social/invite/aEUvStqQ

I’m doing a 30% off Black Friday deal for my book “Integrating SwiftUI into UIKit Apps”! The book is a detailed guide on gradually adopting SwiftUI in existing UIKit projects. You can find out more on my website: books.nilcoalescing.com/integrating-sw…

@hybridcattt I know the @swiftlybrief publishing pipeline was super nice, with lots of automation github.com/SwiftWeekly/.g…

@hybridcattt My goal was to set up some more automation, so that MailerLite would pick up the latest issue from the blog’s RSS feed and send that automagically to the subscribers. It even seemed technically possible. I just didn’t get around to do it.

Newsletter folks - what newsletter software do you use for sending the emails?

@hybridcattt Can’t really remember, but if yes, then it was already created when I took over. The process for me was duplicating the previous campaign then changing the text and subject 😅. This way, the look was the same

@marius_const That's a very informative thread, thank you! Did you use a custom template on MailerLite?
