Finally found a use case for .fixedSize

Omar explains how .fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true) solves a tricky card height layout problem in a horizontal scroll view.

Finally found a use case for .fixedSize 😅

How to Think About Performance in iOS → Livsy Code

When you travel or have colleagues spread around the world, keeping track of different time zones becomes something you have to actively think about, one wrong assumption and you're missing a museum visit on holiday or calling a teammate in the middle of the night.

It is worth mentioning the impeccable attention to detail in all of the app’s micro-animations and the care taken with even the smallest details, such as the possibility to rename a time zone with a custom name, perfect for keeping track of friends on the other side of the world.

A chapter of its own goes to the interaction model: a horizontal bar that lets you literally travel through time with a swipe, paired with haptic feedback that creates a surprisingly physical connection between the user and the concept of time itself.

Every week, people show up to write articles, organize events, and share what they're learning, and that energy is what makes this space worth being part of. Apple recently published a page featuring some of them, and you're probably already familiar with many of these names.

Recognition - Community - Apple Developer

All around the world, developers do meaningful work that extends beyond great apps and games. They organize events, write tutorials, mentor others, and create spaces to learn and grow.

We also want to give a shoutout to everyone just getting started: the ones who published their first article, are about to ship their first app, or are simply sharing what they're learning along the way.

You're part of this too.

We can’t wait to see what you will Create with Swift.

See you next week!
