Apple this week confirmed that Notion is migrating its user interface to SwiftUI, citing the app's desire for greater performance and UI consistency than its existing web-based stack can deliver.
Notion is a productivity app that combines notes, documents, databases, and project management tools in one place. Users can create pages containing text, tables, kanban boards, calendars, and more,…
There’s something to be said for watching the entire Apple Worldwide Developers Conference Platforms State of the Union for roughly two hours the second it goes live. There’s also something to be said for watching the condensed recap that covers the key points, including rebuilt intelligence frameworks, platform design changes, and major developer tools updates.

Jetpack Compose is Google's declarative UI framework for Android, built around Kotlin and shipped stable in 2021. Like SwiftUI on Apple platforms, Compose lets developers describe the UI as a function of state; the runtime diffs the composition and updates only what changed. Core ideas * Composable functions. A @Composable function is the building block; it can emit UI when called from another…
Swift is Apple's modern programming language, introduced in 2014 as the successor to Objective-C for building iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS applications. Swift is statically typed, memory-safe, expressive, and increasingly used outside Apple platforms for server-side and systems programming.
Key language features
iOS is Apple's mobile operating system, powering the iPhone, iPad (as iPadOS, a close derivative), and iPod touch. iOS is a closed source platform with first-party SDKs, a curated App Store as the distribution channel, and tight hardware-software integration that defines the experience.
Core platform pieces
The entries are in, and Apple has chosen 350 Swift Student Challenge winners and highlighted four distinguished winners and their apps. The entries hailed from 37 different countries and winners, and of those 350, 50 have been invited to attend the company’s WWDC event in June, 2026. The four distinguished winners, per AppleInsider: Steady Hands […]

If you can’t make it to the Bay Area/haven’t been invited to the campus during the Worldwide Developer Conference this June, you can still get together with your local Mac geeks, meet up, and enjoy the event. Apple has published a list of 28 conference-adjacent and community-hosted events around the world during the week-long event, […]

AppKit originated in NeXTSTEP and its menus, windows and views are usually built in its graphical editor. SwiftUI was introduced in 2019 and is built using code structures, but supports less than AppKit. Neither is without its problems.

This is nifty. While Apple offers an Apple TV Remote app for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, it doesn’t offer one for the Mac. As such, developer Nick Ustinov stepped in and built Itsytv, a free macOS app for controlling your Apple TV. The application functions as a menu bar app that allows you […]

Leo Dion and I discuss building Plinky from scratch, the technical decisions behind using SwiftUI and Vapor, creating delightful user experiences, and the journey from working at Twitter to becoming an indie developer.
Open sourcing Recap, a Swift library for creating beautiful What's New screens to highlight app updates and keep users informed about new features.
Introducing Boutique, a new architecture that reimagines MVC for SwiftUI by adding a Store layer to handle state management and data flow in a familiar, approachable way.
Building maintainable, flexible color palette systems for iOS and macOS apps using asset catalogs, semantic naming, and SwiftUI integration.
In the last few weeks I’ve been trying to catch up on SwiftUI - watching WWDC videos, reading tutorials. Not the new stuff that was announced 2 months ago though - but the things that people have been using for the past year.
Last June, like everyone else I immediately started playing with SwiftUI like a kid with a new box of Legos. In the first month I managed to build a sample Mac app for…
Continuing the ViewData architecture discussion, covering complex views, performance considerations, and practical implementation strategies.
Introducing ViewData, a declarative architecture pattern for transforming models into views that offers a maintainable alternative to MVVM for iOS development.
I was going through some saved links and open tabs from June recently while finishing the WWDC collection post. I found a lot of interesting quotes about SwiftUI, Catalyst and the future of Apple platform development, and I decided to steal the idea from @mjtsai and put them together in one place. It might be interesting to look at this 5 or 10 years from now…
First impressions

As I’m writing these words, it’s the last day of November and the temperature has just dropped to close to 0°C here in Poland. But let’s move back to a better time for a moment, to the first days of June - the long days of warm sunny weather, inviting you to spend some time outside… and the huge pile of new stuff that Apple had just dropped on us on the WWDC keynote day, inviting you to try to…
I spent a large part of last week learning and playing with SwiftUI. So far it’s been pretty frustrating at times since I kind of feel like I forgot everything I knew, but I’m also very excited about where this will lead us. I’ve summed up my first impressions in the “Thoughts on SwiftUI” post last week.
At the moment most of the available examples show how to use SwiftUI in iOS apps, but…
Like everyone, I was shocked by Apple’s surprise reveal of SwiftUI at WWDC last week. We’ve heard rumors of some kind of declarative, multi-platform framework coming sometime in the future, but I don’t think anyone expected we’d see it so soon. This seems like a huge change, a beginning of a completely new chapter for app developers on Apple platforms. I’ve watched most of the session videos…
