Apple's quality has really dropped recently

The iOS 18 SwiftUI text animations are so cool! 😎 Shame there’s no libraries providing some OOB animations, so you gotta do it yourself for now

If your React component takes a ref, but you also need to keep your own ref, useImperativeHandle will let you copy a ref with a single line

Handy swift snippet if you want to add animations when a view appears ✨ Animate whatever you need - opacity, blur, scale. It all just works

Swift tip, use `let variable?` in switch statements to match optionals - very similar to `if let variable`

When adding support for user font size preferences (Dynamic Type on iOS) - don't make the common mistake of making everything bigger. Learn more, and how to do this in CSS at jacobdoescode.com/2022/12/07/fon…

Swift syntax tip - you can use case in an if or guard statement 🌟

I love this micro interaction in Pocket Jam for changing track colours

TechniCalc uses react-native-svg and MathJax to render equations. It works really well! ⚡️

Which icon style do you prefer? Big Sur or Liquid Glass

Liquid Glass range sliders in SwiftUI! 🤩 Just need Apple to expose their 'clear' they use in their sliders

Running a new A/B screenshot test on TechniCalc. Bottom is the original, top is following advice Teodora @Designerants, middle is a half way between the two. I have been running the top v. bottom for 5 days with not much success. Seeing if the half-way-house has better results

The new .clear Liquid Glass isn't very… clear? Hopefully they add a way to mimic the glass they use for sliders and switches

Finally got the new TechniCalc update out! My favourite feature is the ability to add units to the keyboard. TechniCalc always supported unit-based maths, but having units accessible like this makes so much nicer to use. Use the new builtin Woodworking layout, or design your own!
