I’m adding charts to my spoon management app. Still work in progress.

#spoon #pacing

(No third party lib, no #SwiftCharts, no #SwiftUI)

Here's a first step toward a UI for boolean search expressions for Magic cards.

Baby steps y'all.

I'm working on a #SwiftUI view modifier that calculates a foreground Color that maintains sufficient contrast with the background and also takes the font into account. This can improve #accessibility without too much design-time overhead.

It's using APCA by @Myndex.

We can set a custom background for a window on macOS in #SwiftUI using the containerBackground() modifier. And to extend it to the toolbar, we need to apply toolbarBackgroundVisibility(.hidden, for: .windowToolbar) to the window’s content.

Heeeelp!

What does the following error mean, and how do I fix it? It happens, when I call `modelContext.save()` in a SwiftUI view.

"SwiftData/ModelCoders.swift:105: Fatal error: Composite Coder only supports Keyed Container”

Edit: Solved! It appears SwiftData does not support Duration properties in models. Changing it to a TimeInterval instead fixes it.

I'm trying to detect the tap location on a #SwiftUI Map.

If I add an onTapGesture, it works but I lose the "double tap to zoom" native behaviour

Anyone knows a way to not override this default gesture? I would ideally prefer not having to use an UIViewRepresentable if possible.

Do you have any idea @hishnash @natpanferova @yanlu? Thank you!

I have been struggling with understanding how to import whatever might be on the clipboard and this bit of code helped immensely.

If you copy an image in Safari via the context menu, there are actually nearly 20 different objects placed on the clipboard.

If this is documented anywhere, I never found it.

With ShareLink there's really no way to know if a user has shared something or even dismissed the share sheet?

SwiftUI supports several scene types on macOS, and they each serve a different role, from managing multiple windows to adding menu bar functionality. I have a post that covers them all, and I often find myself referring back to it for a quick reference: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/ScenesTypesInASwiftUIMacApp/

From @jtr's lovely post:

"Journalley blows this mental challenge away. It invites me to take notes and just notes. It’s the opposite of a chore. “Go ahead,” it winks at me, “spill the beans. Snap some pictures. We’ll work on the details later.” Suddenly, I’m free to let my mind go."

Thought I was clever making a custom drawer component, only to realize that SwiftUI already has a DisclosureGroup component that’s literally the same thing . Weird thing tho is that my custom component would ignore its transition animations to show/hide its content if the component was rendered inside of a List or Form. DisclosureGroup works just fine under a List. What am I missing here? Why are my animations ignored if inside a List? #BuildInPublic #iosdev #swiftui

I am having a memory leak issue on Mac app to work on but otherwise MVP

ok, maybe I've almost finished with Import/Export..

When SwiftUI is good its very good.

I was able to add this filter and option button to filter my sidebar list with three different sections. Total time spent perhaps 30 minutes?

Now users can filter the list(s) to quickly find the item they want and they can toggle display of items already contained in groups.

Need to update all my help docs and screenshots but it's worth it.
