The best products are not those that are simply good, but those that take what‘s already out there and make it better.
I'm only a few days into my #SwiftUI journey, but I already appreciate the type-safety features of the language.
Helps tremendously to reduce those embarrassing mistakes.
Day 4 #100DaysOfSwiftUI
✅ Type annotations
✅ Checkpoint 2
🔑 takeaways:
👉 Whenever possible, use type inference
Below is my solution for the checkpoint. Wasn't that hard but reinforced my knowledge of sets: Now I know that they are made from arrays 💡
Reframe your thinking: You're not bad at something. You're just new to it.
Embrace the beginner's mindset.
Day 3 #100DaysOfSwiftUI
✅ Arrays
✅ Dictionaries
✅ Sets
✅ Enums
🔑 takeaways:
👉 Use default to access data in dictionaries
👉 Sets are significantly faster in look-up operations than arrays
👉 With enums, you essentially define a new data type with all possible values
2022 is already halfway over. Here's a goal I want to reach by the end of it:
Making 1$ online with my own iOS app.

How do you make sure that the ideas you have are actually saved somewhere?
Do you have a system for that?
Day 2 #100DaysOfSwiftUI
✅ Booleans
✅ String interpolation
✅ Checkpoint 1
🔑 takeaways:
👉 String interpolation is more efficient than string concatenation
The checkpoint exercise was a simple Celcius to Fahrenheit converter. Completed it without any problems 🙌
Day 1 #100DaysOfSwiftUI
✅ Variables
✅ Constants
✅ Strings
✅ Numbers
🔑 takeaways:
👉 Use constants whenever possible
👉 Type safety is a very helpful feature of Swift
Going for a bike ride first thing in the morning and enjoying this view is amazing 😍
Really helps clear your head and gives you a sense of accomplishment afterward.
Today, I started my iOS dev journey with #100DaysOfSwiftUI (day 0)
Watched a video that answered some basic questions around iOS development. @twostraws did a really great job with making me excited for what's to come 🙌

Many problems in our lives come from our non existent ability to delay gratification. And our short attention span.
The Tiktok effect.
I'm currently struggling a bit to decide what to focus my attention on.
So for the next few weeks, I'll:
⟡ work on my personal website
⟡ take the #100daysofswiftui course
⟡ grow my Twitter account, build more connections
Will share my progress here ✌️
Anyone remember what this CSS snippet did? 🤓
.clearfix::after {
content: '';
display: table;
clear: both;
}
Todays @Webflow 💎:
Hitting this little button in the top right of the spacing accordion centers an element (with margin: 0 auto).
Conclusion:
Starting small, learning and leveling up over time is better than going all in and betting on the wrong things. https://xcancel.com/vvtraining/status/1536019519835197443
Only now discovered that @Figma actually tells you which corner you're editing (focus on the icon on the left side).
Love finding these little UX gems in the wild 🥰
A quick little @NotionHQ tip I just discovered:
Type “:name” to quickly insert an emoji without having to search for it in the native emoji-picker.
Is it true that @NotionHQ doesn't have a search and replace function? Or am I missing something?

A true life pro tip, that instantly improves your mental well-being:
Don't be too harsh on yourself.
Debating on what platform I should choose to build my personal website.
The candidates are:
– @super_
– @framer
– @webflow
What would you choose? Any opinions or suggestions? 🤔
During the pandemic, fitness apps were all the rage.
Since I don't go to a gym, I still rely on them pretty heavily.
Here are my 5 favorite health-related apps 💪

Built this awesome 3d interaction for the @webflow #21dayportfolio challenge 💯

Reenabling the Youtube watch history has drastically improved my watch experience. I regularly get recommended great videos that I would've otherwise missed.
I know, that personalization can be dangerous if you don't be cautious… But if used responsibly, it's a great feature.
Working on a write-up for the creation process behind indocus 👀
Anything specific you'd like to know?

Today, I did a lesson on interactions for the #21dayportfolio in @Webflow. And I learned a ton (see the result below).
But one great side effect of learning Webflow is, that you also learn some new stuff about CSS. For example, I finally wrapped my head around CSS perspective 🤓
Great lil @Webflow UI interaction, that I noticed just now:
When you select an element in the navigator, the preview automatically scrolls to it 🙌
It's that time of the year again when I feel the sudden urge to dive into SwiftUI again.
I wonder why…
Never seen such big hype for an Apple event like #WWDC22 in a long time.
It's addictive.
We did it 💯
Thanks to you all, you're amazing!
I know, numbers are not everything. But it's a big milestone for me nonetheless.
This is just the beginning! https://xcancel.com/dominikhofer_/status/1533758227233619968
The past 28 days have been my best in terms of follower growth.
Now, there's only one left to crack the 100.
Can we make it happen today? 🙏
The fact that you can't open a shortened Youtube link directly in the Youtube app on iOS Twitter bugs me everytime…
Crazy how fast we adapt to small changes.
Two weeks back, I had the @Spotify smart shuffle in the app. And I quite liked it after a few days.
So much, that I already miss it now that it's gone again 🥲
But I guess I'll get used to the old shuffle just as quickly again.
Bought these awesome wavey wallpapers by @dizzyup
The wallpapers are already awesome, but you should've seen the setup process… Directly integrated into the system settings & a shortcut for the iPhone.
Didn't even know that wallpapers can have great UX 👀

99% of people (me included) use Twitter as a consumer, very few as a creator.
I wanted to change that for myself, so I took the course “From consumer to creator” by @AlexLlullTW & @AlexMaeseJ
Here are my five main takeaways and what I think about the course:

For a few days, I have had this weird bug that I'm constantly getting logged out of @webflow
Is anyone experiencing the same or has in the past? 🤔
Wanna build an audience on Twitter?
Ask yourself: What are my passions? Where lie my interests?
Then take action. Figure out what sticks and what doesn't.
Repeat, this is an ongoing process.

The course is live, time to go through it!
Will write a lil review afterwards ✌️ https://xcancel.com/dominikhofer_/status/1525439735585456129
