Learn why fixedSize() can make SwiftUI text overflow its frame, collapse a shape or size a shape to the height of wrapped text, and how size proposals and ideal sizes explain each result: https://t.co/K3s0UvvT4a

Learn how alignment guides position views in SwiftUI, how to override a built-in guide, and how to define a custom alignment for views in nested containers: https://t.co/yRvLXircCW

The fixedSize() modifier in SwiftUI is a common way to prevent text truncation, but its effect varies between views, and understanding why helps avoid unexpected layout results. I wrote a post explaining how it sizes views and how parent layouts respond: https://t.co/6z23oGo0aT

Over the last week we released many updates to SwiftFairy, including new rules for the Proper SwiftUI and SwiftUI Layout & Resizability scrolls, with a key focus on correct use of layoutPriority. We also expanded the detection for 40+ existing rules.

I can finally read digital books now that I can use @natpanferova's new app Whio with its special accessibility features for dyslexia.

I can configure it to adapt the spacing between letters and letter weight, and add an underline guide. This has a profound impact for me, as my eyes and mind can now scan along a line without missing letters and words.

Here is some info about its features: https://t.co/mPP6ijEDdx

Compare how SwiftUI containers apply a view's layout priority, from space allocation in stacks and ZStack sizing to reading the value in custom Layout implementations: https://t.co/1tLDEIIfbl

Adapt a SwiftUI interface to its available space using the onGeometryChange() modifier, while limiting state updates to the geometry changes that matter: https://t.co/Lj7qeyqAZD

[Natalia Panferova @natpanferova]

SwiftUI layout containers can take the layout priority of their subviews into account when sizing and arranging them, but its effect depends on the container. In my new post, I compare how stacks and custom layouts use it:

Just shipped a huge update to SwiftFairy!

It focuses on performance improvements, up to 100x faster on larger, complex projects.

If you’ve tried SwiftFairy already and need your trial reset, just drop us an email.

Build repeating and event-driven animations in SwiftUI with PhaseAnimator, using phase values and per-phase transitions to control each sequence: https://t.co/8ZT9vJUcEr

For the past month, I’ve been writing a lot about adapting SwiftUI interfaces for iPhone Duo as I updated my own apps. All the posts, covering toolbars, sheets, ArrangementView, the fold and hinge-driven animations, are collected here: https://t.co/MmDHk8uBbT

Reading tech-books always had the downside of small code blocks, but not anymore with this new app by @nilcoalescing!

[Taha Tesser @TahaTesser]

I read technical books on my Apple devices when I get chance and it’s not always a good experience.

@natpanferova recognised the problem and solved it with her new app Whio

Keep SwiftUI layouts responsive across changing window sizes by deriving view dimensions directly from their containers for full-width views, horizontal card layouts and custom proportional sizing: https://t.co/uEIvxdNrMu

Spotlight on Breve: Coffee Recipes: featured in “APP OF THE DAY” on the US App Store 🇺🇸

Congrats, @nilcoalescing! 🌟

[Natalia Panferova @natpanferova]

I love this App Store editorial story about Breve so much. Such a thoughtful way to describe the app. And reading about myself in the "Meet the creator" section feels unreal ☺️
