Day 27 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Built the BetterRest project

🔑 takeaways:
👉 .toolbar modifier to add an “action” to view
👉 Imported ml models auto generates class
👉 To read a property whenever we want, make it static

Not that beautiful yet, but the ml part is amazing!

Since when does Photoshop have a guide on how to export NFTs in the export menu? 🤨

Day 26 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Overview of the BetterRest project

🔑 takeaways:
👉 Stepper & Slider are ways to enter numbers
👉 Dates are hard to work with, but Swift provides handy abstractions
👉 You can easily create your own machine learning models with Create ML!

Day 25 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Built a simple rock, paper, scissors app

This was a great project to recap some of the learnings from the past few days!

One thing I'm particularly proud of is the way I handled the validation: It's a dictionary with all the winning pairs.

Uno #002

Today's tool is a handy little site called copypastecharacters.

Whenever you need some special characters like ⟡, , ⌘ or ⌥, just get them from there. One click to copy them to your clipboard.

👀 Pro tip: Save frequently used symbols as snippets in @raycastapp

Day 24 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Repetition of yesterday's topics on my own

Although days like these require a bit more brainpower than just following tutorials, I really learned to like them. They are exactly what you need to let concepts sink in.

Kudos to @twostraws 👏

Day 23 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Custom views & modifiers

🔑 takeaways:
👉 Modifiers create a new view → order matters
👉 Use ternary operator for conditional modifiers
👉 Environment modifier gets applied to all children
👉 You can create custom views & modifiers for reusability

Day 22 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Added some additional features on my own

For this challenge, I already had to google some things, which I think is a great sign! I actually really like that during this course, I get to work on things on my own. Prepares me for my own projects.

Love to see the numbers behind some popular design tips! https://xcancel.com/Gavmn/status/1545387084017532929

Learning the shortcuts of your most-used programs has a really big roi.

Nothing beats being able to do your work mostly without using your mouse.

In order to keep your goals present, you should review them daily.

Where do you put them, so you can ensure that?

Currently going through the Final Cut Pro X Skillshare class by @AliAbdaal and only a few lessons in, I've already picked up what is probably the most useful tip for video editing 👇

The I-O-E (shortcuts) workflow for assembling an a-cut.

Day 21 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Built the GTF project

🔑 takeaways:
👉 Use .shuffled() for a randomized array
👉 .font() modifier is for changing the look of text (uses dynamic type)
👉 Use multiple Spacer() to distribute space

Learned a ton about custom styling in this project!

I need to hear this more often. And you do probably to:

Good is good enough.

Day 20 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Overview of GTF project

🔑 takeaways:
👉 Use stacks for returning multiple views
👉 Colors & gradients are views as well
👉 Image(systemImage: "xy") for icons
👉 Create alerts bound to state variable

Also, this is the most beautiful view ever 😍

The /turn command in @Notion is so useful, go try it out!

Or am I the only one who only recently learned about it? 🥲

1 + 1 = 3

(Do you see it?)

Day 19 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Built a simple converter app

That's it, my first iOS app I built on my own, from scratch!

The conversion was probably the hardest part. The tip with converting to a base unit helped a ton.

Also, notice how the label changes at the bottom 👀

Are you really an iOS dev until you keep Xcode in your dock permanently?

Asking for a friend.

The greatest thing about coding is that you start to see the world from a different perspective.

Day 18 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Added some additional features on my own

I already love building UIs with SwiftUI! It's fascinating, how fast and easy you get Apple-like results.

Looking forward to building some more complex apps 🤓

Your mindset creates your reality.

“History doesn’t repeat. But it often rhymes.”
—Coach Bennet (@Nike Run Club)

Wish everyone a great start to the week ✌️

What are your plans?

Uno #001

The first tool in this series is called RatioBuddy by @damnfinestudio.

A very simple but handy tool that I regularly use to calculate aspect ratios.

Have been using this one for years for simplifying pixel dimensions down to ratios 🙌

https://xcancel.com/dominikhofer_/status/1543663116109680642

I'm starting a little weekly series called “Uno”.

Every Sunday, I'll share one simple tool that I regularly use (and you might not know).

Stay tuned ✌️

Just migrated my personal notes from Apple notes/Evernote to @craftdocsapp

Main reason is the daily notes feature (not available in many other apps but I love the concept).

Also, the design is just gorgeous 😍

One thing I really enjoy about using SwiftUI is that everything looks very beautiful and minimal by default.

Fight your anxiety. Cause a calm mind is a smart mind.

Day 17 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Built the WeSplit project

🔑 takeaways:
👉 Locale is a struct with localization infos
👉 @State automatically watches for changes
👉 NavigationView is often the top-level view
👉 Spacer creates a flexible space

Was a fun little project to work on!

Choose your spotlight wisely.

Day 16 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Overview of WeSplit project

🔑 takeaways:
👉 Everything in SwiftUI is a view
👉 Shortcuts: ⌘ + ⌥ + P; ⌘ + R
👉 Views are a function of their state
👉 Create two-way bindings with $

console.log() in CSS:

• {
  border: 1px dotted red !important;
  }

Now you know CSS 🤓

Not caring about other people's opinions is a sign of self-confidence.

I still have to reach that level.

Nothing better than a selfmade burger 😍

Day 15 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Review day

Done with the fundamentals of Swift. Now onto learning SwiftUI, I am very excited!

My new favorite shortcut in @framer: ⌘ + K

Creating components, publishing, and more – straight from your Keyboard.

Love seeing more and more apps adapt this UX pattern 🙌

Done is better than perfect.

Day 13 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Protocols
✅ Extensions
✅ Checkpoint 8

🔑 takeaways:
👉 Protocols are like a blueprint for different types
👉 With extensions, you can extend the functionality of types
👉 Protocol extensions are possible

Can you spot the easter egg? 🐰

Not everything that happens is your fault.

But it is your responsibility to take care of it.

Writing is the best tool to understand yourself better.

Try out journaling for some time and you'll see great benefits!

Day 14* #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Optionals
✅ Nil coalescing
✅ Checkpoint 9*

🔑 takeaways:
👉 Optionals are for when there might data
👉 They have to be unwrapped: Either with if let, guard let, or nil coalescing

Today's checkpoint was a simple one-liner. Felt kinda smart 🤓

Overthinking < Just starting. https://xcancel.com/dominikhofer_/status/1530926955247243265/photo/1

Design is 90% staring at a big white rectangle and 10% drawing little rectangles on it.

What do you wish someone taught you a long time ago?

Day 12 #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅ Classes
✅ Inheritance
✅ Checkpoint 7

🔑 takeaways:
👉 Classes don't have a memberwise initializer
👉 All instances point to the same data
👉 You can override methods
👉 Call super.init() inside child class

The furry checkpoint 🐈🐕

Added a subtle hue rotation animation to my @framer site's background ✨

Took a bit of custom code, but was still easier to achieve than I thought!

What do you think?

Made quite some progress today on the homepage of my personal site (timelapse in next tweet).

(And I also feel like I now understand the layout tool pretty well 🙌)

A lil reminder to myself 👇

You can't work on yourself if you're always focused on what others think of you.
