Visualise anything with SwiftUI Charts

Kyryl shows how to build a custom indicator in SwiftUI, combining sector marks, custom shapes, and animation to visualize dynamic values.

Visualise anything with SwiftUI Charts
Modern health, fitness, and mindfulness apps often need to visualise progress or physiological indicators in a way that feels intuitive, animated, and informative. Apple’s SwiftUI framework—especially with the introduction of Charts—makes it possible to build expressive custom components, but assembling something more complex than a bar or line chart requires careful work.

Modularity as an Architectural Choice

Artem explains why modularity matters in SwiftUI and app architecture design, showing how breaking features into focused, reusable modules and practical patterns for structuring a modular codebase.

Modularity as an Architectural Choice → Livsy Code
Greetings, traveler! Modularity is an architectural approach where a codebase is split into well-defined, independent units with explicit responsibilities and boundaries. Each module exposes a clear public interface and hides its internal details, allowing parts of the system to evolve without tightly coupling everything together. That said, modularity is not a universal requirement. For small

The assembly-line-ification of App Icons

Vidit reflects on the evolution of app icons, drawing an insightful comparison with the Bauhaus movement and analyzing how today’s app icons are shaped by the demand for consistency and recognizability, often at the cost of character and soul.

The assembly-line-ification of App Icons
Today’s app icons look as if they came out of an assembly line. All looking the same, designed for maximum scale, and devoid of any identity or soul. Turning the craft of designing an app icon into a lost art.





Indie App of the Week

TypeLouder

One of the essential elements of any desk setup is undoubtedly a good keyboard, ideally paired with the sound of mechanical switches. That tactile feedback gives us a sense of satisfaction with every press and a reassuring confidence in each keystroke.

TypeLouder, developed by Sarun, manages to bring back the feeling of a mechanical keyboard through a macOS app by letting users choose different types of mechanical audio feedback and mapping sounds based on key size and length. It’s perfect for those moments when you miss your home setup, or when you simply feel like (playfully) annoying the coworkers sitting next to you.

We are happy to share with you our next project:
K.I.T.E. UX, a Spatial Ergonomics Benchmark for XR!
In this article
Francesco shares how he designed it, why spatial ergonomics matters in three-dimensional interfaces and how the benchmark makes it easier to evaluate comfort zones, reachability, and interaction quality.

K.I.T.E. UX: The First Spatial Ergonomics Benchmark for XR
Create wireframe visionOS decisions and validate layouts before you write a single line of code.

Check it out because we will share more about it next week!

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

See you next week!
