First success! 🙌 Managed to hack together a simple list of all my blogposts showing their views & likes

Second success: interactivity! Sort posts by date, likes & views ✨

I dig how easy it is to build something that looks ok with barely any added styling, compared to the blank slate of a web app

Learned to do basic math by adding view/like totals (need help getting that like count over 1000 now ok?🙈). map() and reduce() surprisingly similar to js equivalent

Third success: Navigation, remote image loading & opening external links in a SFSafariView. Also learned about accentColor (go orange!) and ButtonStyle

Today I learned about Tab Bars and how to layout with Grids by breaking out the "totals" to their own tab

🔍 Added search + refactored the data fetching logic

🎥 Finishing this first experiment of SwiftUl with an on-device video of my small blogpost-stats app, feels amazing having it in your hand! Impressed how easy it was to get it to look ok (albeit stock), and features like filtering, searching, pull-to-refresh, animations and grids

@samuelkraft So cool! I loved working with SwiftUI last year!

@BraydonCoyer What did you build? I'm enjoying it so far!

@samuelkraft That’s very cool! I last built an iOS app for a school project back in 2014 and I want to try it out again this year. Can you recommend any resources for SwiftUI and/or general modern iOS dev?

@chrcit Things must have changed a lot since! I enjoyed this as an introduction to SwiftUI Then I like to learn as I'm building so looked at apples example apps here (specifically the "Meme Creator" to learn data fetching)

@notkoalas Thanks!

@lerneSwiftUi Thank you, that's way too kind! Learning by trial and error 😅 Very lucky that soo many amazing developers are publishing blogposts and open sourcing their apps 🙏
