Does anyone actually use #SwiftUI previews? I find them infuriatingly slow, as slow as compiling, and compiling gives you way more
Current status: Using Claude Code in Xcode 26.3 to debug why inserting a new menu item in MacOS with #SwiftUI seems to work properly sometimes but also fails to show up at all lots of times. Claude kept suggesting funky workarounds and assuring me they worked (they didnโt) until I finally told it to debug the problem, which it did by inserting print statements and getting me to paste the results in. It works now!
Had some time so did a few tweaks on SoloTime. Made the expenses filtering more obvious so you can tell what youโre looking at.

Ish. The Swift Playground app on macOS is Catalyst. Guess I can't use it as a workaround for Xcode 26.3 Playgrounds crashing on Sequoia.

Which also reminds me how embarrassing it is if youโre working on a #SwiftUI app on a modern iPhone and itโs running slowโฆ heaven and earth must be moving behind the scenes for it to be doing that.
Way out of time, but got a draft implementation that also checks for duplicate special lists. Tomorrow night, let's continue fleshing it out. See you then!

Still bridging UIKit delegates back to SwiftUI? Coordinators are the essential link between ๐๐ผ๐๐๐๐ค๐ถ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ and your SwiftUI state. Here's a solid refresher on how to utilize them.

RE: https://social.lol/@triton/116198334016258109
In latest #Triton I've added new shortcuts:
- Command+1, Command+2, etc. to browse between features
- Command+n to open editors. Depending on the feature, it will open something different. For Statuslog, it opens the Status composer; for Pics, the image uploader; and so on
- Command+r to refresh features that have a refresh button. A quick way to fetch the latest content without reaching for the mouse
Toolbars were updated to use the latest #SwiftUI features, including customization. It's now possible to remove buttons, change their order, and more
It also includes several under-the-hood improvements, focusing on the lifecycle of SwiftUI views
My full Swift and SwiftUI Network Manager series is now available in one playlist. In three videos youโll build a reusable networking layer using async/await, generics, and improved error handling for JSON decoding.
