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!
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? 🥲
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 🤓
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 🙌

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.
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!
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 $
Not caring about other people's opinions is a sign of self-confidence.
I still have to reach that level.
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 🙌
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.
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.
Automation: Step by step https://xcancel.com/vvtraining/status/1541520321467088896
Swift (with SwiftUI) feels like an ideal language to learn for beginners.
After trying out (almost) every Twitter scheduling tool under the sun, I'm back on @typefully
Although there are platforms out there with more features, nothing beats the simplicity & aesthetics of Typefully.
