SwiftUI Text views support flexible data formatting using the format parameter and FormatStyle, adapting content to different contexts and locales.
For example, an array can be formatted as a grammatically correct list: https://books.nilcoalescing.com/swiftui-fundamentals/Text-and-localization/text-formatting#format-styles

Text is an important SwiftUI view that supports localization, formatting, and styling, but its behavior isn’t always obvious.
To understand how it works and how to use it effectively, check out the free sample chapter from my book SwiftUI Fundamentals: https://books.nilcoalescing.com/swiftui-fundamentals/Text-and-localization
As I work on my app one of the biggest challenges I am facing is forcing my myself to slow down and avoid “Vibe Coding” features I don’t fully understand. I wanna make sure my code is organized and recognizable to me so when it comes time for me to add other features or fix bugs I’m not completely lost and just adding to the mess. AI is an awesome tool but I don’t want it to become a crutch. #iosdev #buildinpublic #indiedev

TIL Bundle.module for Swift Packages

Wait, what?!
App Store Connect is now showing impressions, downloads, and more by keyword?! BY KEYWORD?!
When did this drop? Are any of you seeing this too?
Search Ads are great for discovering new keywords and boosting downloads. But last month, I ended up burning all my income on ASA 
This month, I’m relying solely on ASO and social media to find new users.
I’m using Astro for ASO:

I often see SwiftUI examples using + to combine Text views and style individual segments. While this works, it has limitations with localized text. I wrote a post discussing why text interpolation is often a better choice in these situations: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/TextConcatenationVsTextInterpolationInSwiftUI/

Still bewildering to me how Xcode Documentation doesn't have bookmarks. #iosdev
