Really not a fan of the whole Figma/Adobe bashing, BUT…
Why is @Adobe charging me 12.– if I choose to cancel my monthly subscription? This doesn't make sense to me at all and is bad CX practice (ironically, they create products that are supposed to help you design great CX)…

That's great UX:
@pixelmator Photo allows you to set a reminder before you get charged after the free trial.
Kudos, that makes me want to support you even more 👏

Great UX, available in 5(!) languages and built with modern technologies (spotted Nuxt 🤓).
Day 85 #100DaysOfSwiftUI
✅ Added some additional features on my own
Also, there was a rewrite of the save and load functionality.
The awesome thing is, by now I already have built a library of code snippets, so I used one from the BucketList project for this feature :)

Sunday funsies:
Made some of my @Spotify playlists public and designed dreamy artworks for them (inspo: @FonsMans).
Enjoy!!
Awesome reference app for anyone learning SwiftUI! https://xcancel.com/SwiftDev_UI/status/1573822304890527744
Lil reminder that disliking the things you've created in the past is a sign of growth.
Day 82 #100DaysOfSwiftUI
✅ Building the HotProspects project (I)
🔑 takeaways:
👉 Customizable view with enums
👉 Reminder: Mark ObservableObject classes as @ MainActor
👉 Dynamically filter data with computed property
I enjoy these kinds of days just building layouts.

✅ Overview of the HotProspects project (III)
🔑 takeaways:
👉 .contextMenu modifier for secondary actions
👉 .swipeActions on list items for further actions
👉 Two types of notifications: Remote & local
Great UX is already built in!
Did you know that there is a more convenient way to add the frame modifier you need in #Xcode14?
Just type .frame + the abbreviations of the properties you need (e.g. w for width, wh for width and height, …) and let autocomplete do the work for you!
A number to keep in mind 👇 https://xcancel.com/yannicklu/status/1573303483457048577
.@thatsfinsweet has many great Webflow products that I love to use (available for free!).
But my absolute favorite is Attributes: Whenever I need something that's not possible in Webflow, chances are that there is an attribute that exactly solves my problem.
Feels like magic ✨

DALL-E 2 is great, but writing good prompts can feel like art as well.
I've discovered this awesome presentation which helped me learn a lot about writing prompts for various styles 👇
Day 80 #100DaysOfSwiftUI
✅ Overview of the HotProspects project (II)
🔑 takeaways:
👉 objectWillChange is for manually publishing changes from classes
👉 Use .result on a Task to simplify code (returns either return type or error)
👉 SwiftUI automatically interpolates images
iOS devs should really appreciate the fact that the new OS version is adopted so fast 🤯
Makes me excited to use the new SwiftUI features :) https://xcancel.com/ChristianSelig/status/1571573431010836483
Day 79 #100DaysOfSwiftUI
✅ Overview of the HotProspects project (I)
🔑 takeaways:
👉 @ EnvironmentObject makes data accessible to child views, use it with .environmentObject modifier
👉 TabView is a parent view for your whole app, it uses the .tabItem modifier
The new default SwiftUI view now features an icon.
Spotting this little change is a great reminder of how far I've already come on my #100DaysOfSwiftUI journey!

If you are a dev, you probably use the terminal pretty often. The best one in my opinion is Hyper by @vercel.
Built with HTML, CSS & JS and therefore easily extensible with plugins and customizable with gorgeous themes.
Here's mine, love the clean look:

✅ Extended personal CRM app with location feature
Learned how to use the TabView view and also finally understood what .constant() is for 🤓
No coding tweet today but a delicious pizza I had yesterday to kick off the weekend 😋
Have a nice one everybody!
“Build what you wished existed.”
Great inspiring talk @austboston 🙌 https://xcancel.com/austboston/status/1570436294957993985
Day 77 #100DaysOfSwiftUI
✅ Built a little personal CRM app
Finally got around to finishing this one. The UI part wasn't that hard (although it isn't anything fancy).
But saving the image was harder than I thought. Luckily, I found a helpful Github repo 🤓

Built a lil URL shortener for my personal domain, following the tutorial linked in the next Tweet.
It's built using @nextjs, @prisma, @planetscaledata, and @vercel.
Test it @ http://hoferdo.link/twitter

Just built my profile on @Polywork! Check it out and get in touch with me there for all kinds of polyworking opportunities - https://poly.me/dominikhofer
Designed a possible icon for my first iOS app.
What do you think?
(And also wanna guess, what the app will be about? 😏)

As you probably know, I'm currently learning SwiftUI and getting into iOS dev. And if I like one thing in particular, it's the great community around the topic.
A great resource to discover apps made by fellow indie hackers is @AppAirport. I love exploring them!

Day 76 #100DaysOfSwiftUI
✅ Did some a11y reviews on my own
Pretty much consisted of spotting the issue (the hardest part) and then hiding elements and/or providing declarative labels.
Also scored 12/12 on the review test, which made me quite proud 😇
Day 75 #100DaysOfSwiftUI
✅ Making previous apps accessible
🔑 takeaways:
👉 Making apps accessible isn’t that hard, just do it!
New Apple Watch lineup in a nutshell. https://xcancel.com/escoen/status/1567567510571991044
