robb<p>About a third of counts will display a leading one so it makes sense to optimize for that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford%27s_law" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford%</span><span class="invisible">27s_law</span></a></p>
robb<p>When animating a count in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SwiftUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SwiftUI</span></a>, use `monospacedDigits()` so the frame doesn’t change as frequently – however, that can leave leading 1s look disconnected so I'm skipping it for the first digit while keeping formatting intact <a href="https://gist.github.com/robb/f8fdcca31f82b5f6e7cf2711618eec86" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gist.github.com/robb/f8fdcca31</span><span class="invisible">f82b5f6e7cf2711618eec86</span></a></p>
robb<p>If you're trying to like, *really* center Text in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SwiftUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SwiftUI</span></a>, use a TextRenderer to disable subpixel quantization:</p>
robb<p>Pro tip, git supports checking out by (relative) date, e.g.:</p><p>git checkout main@{last week}</p>

robb<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SwiftUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SwiftUI</span></a>'s Color.mix(with:by:in:) makes it easy to increasingly interpolate the current foreground color towards white (or black) while keeping its hue reasonably intact.</p>
robb<p>I'm working on a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SwiftUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SwiftUI</span></a> view modifier that calculates a foreground Color that maintains sufficient contrast with the background and also takes the font into account. This can improve <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>accessibility</span></a> without too much design-time overhead.</p><p>It's using APCA by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://techhub.social/@Myndex" class="u-url mention">@<span>Myndex</span></a></span>.</p>

robb<p>Reading List is a feature I’d love but I really don’t want it in Safari, can the EU come in and open that menu item up to your favorite read later app please?</p>

robb<p>Free SwiftUI advice: your app probably has too few ButtonStyles and too many ad hoc styled Buttons.</p>
