I spent the whole evening going through tutorials and working on my side project, Ngöndro Tracker, leaving little time to post updates to the blog. Among others, I implemented a text field component with label, a helper to initialize colors from CSS hex strings, and began work on the view to edit practice settings.

Today I implemented persisting practice history each time the user adds some repetitions of a practice. I also implemented a simple view for presenting those records. I found out how to implement custom keys for `Decodable` data structures.

Following Apple's tutorial on graphics leaves me completely dumbfounded. Does it mean I will learn how to make stuff as pretty as Apple's native apps?

I implemented adding custom amounts of mantras or repetitions of practices to the Ngöndro Tracker using a wrapper for `UIAlertController`.

After following two parts of Apple's SwiftUI tutorial, I made some improvements to the first iteration of my side project, Ngöndro Tracker.

I found out some amazing SwiftUI tutorials from Apple, and they are free. I followed one along on the way to Cracow today.

Today I spent the whole evening working on my pet project, Ngöndro Counter. Therefore, the blog post will consist solely of the project update.

Brief progress update on issues from the book. I present the mobile app I want to work on henceforth.

I spent another evening treading through SQLite's low-level C APIs. I integrated a very naïvely written data store built with these APIs into a simple iOS GUI app. Finally, I found out how to detect dark mode on macOS using Swift APIs.

I intended to write about `@AppStorage` and `@SceneStorage`, but I ended up playing around with SQLite3 in C and Swift.

Describing observable objects, which act like event-driven data sources, and `@EnvironmentObject`s, which expose a given object to the entire view tree.

Today I explore basic state management using `@State`, `@Binding`, and `@Environment` property wrappers.

In today's post I introduce the basic techniques used to translate strings within SwiftUI applications. I also present a simple component with an image placed in a circle.

Tips and tricks for synchronizing Xcode's keyboard shortcuts between devices, autoformatting Swift files in Neovim, and IntelliSense. Brief description of a prototype scene built along chapter 3 of <em>SwiftUI Apprentice</em>.

Following a tutorial from a book, I build a TabView with custom components and several predefined views and components from the SwiftUI framework.

In this post, I explain why I wrote almost nothing in terms of code today and why I decided to switch from UIKit to SwiftUI.

Briefly discussing structs and classes, with key differences, property and method declaration, and property observers.

Quick introduction to things you can do with Swift enumerations.

Today I explore dictionaries, the Swift-flavored unique key-value collections.

Looking at some of Swift's abstract types, such as enums, I noticed how similar they are to Rust. In this post, I also describe common operations on date and time values.
