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:

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

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:

Baffled by this SwiftUI behavior I'm seeing.

Pressing any button would act as if ALL buttons were pressed.

Claude recommended using .onTapGesture instead and that did work. I'm worried this could bite me later because I don't understand why this fix works.

Hey @dlx , I remember you posted something about creating overlapping circles in SwiftUI using geometry proxies, but I can’t find it anymore.
Could you please share the reference or link?
It would also be great to know how we could create something like this in SwiftUI. #SwiftUI #Swift

Today, I'm releasing AtRandom – a #SwiftUI property wrapper that adds stable randomness to your views!

Use it to spice up animations, transitions, and UI elements—without the hassle of @State. Also supports custom seeding for consistency!

#swift community I need your help!

Is there a Swift app architecture book that makes use of #SwiftUI and shows current design patterns?

Please repost

Ripping out old code is SO satisfying!

I just published a post on how we can set a custom background, like an image or a translucent material, for #SwiftUI sheets, popovers, and full-screen covers, and how to explicitly control the presentation color scheme: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/ModalPresentationBackgroundAndColorSchemeInSwiftUI/

Not quite done yet but this Widget with your bookmarked transit stops for #Trimet is feeling more and more real! It works too!

I realized there's a problem with my recent change for nearby days.

I adjust the date with ViewThatFits and have been able to squeeze in more precipitation stats by doing that. But on days with snow *and* rain the heavy font weight that indicates today was making them not fit.

Medium weight to the rescue!
