Top-notch video tutorials for Swift developers

In this episode we cover migrating our Swift Data models between incompatible versions using custom and lightweight migration.

In this episode we page between images in a post using some custom navigation buttons. When doing this we encounter an issue with implementing keyboard shortcuts for these buttons where a SwiftUI helper just doesn't work. For the fix we'll have to wait for the next episode.

In this episode we handle zooming into images using a gesture on the trackpad or with ⌘+/- on the keyboard.

When tapping on an image, we want to open a new window with that image, but have it expand from the position in the gallery on the post. To do so, we have to do some window manipulation using NSPanel and some frame calculations.

In this episode we dive a little deeper into how Windows can be opened using SwiftUI, then see how we can drop down to AppKit to customize it further. We'll learn about style masks and the different behaviors we have for positioning the window. Finally we use this knowledge to open a window with a selected image from a post.

We add the ability for the app to remember that a user was logged in, auto log them in w/ the saved credentials. We also add a sidebar to display the user's avatar, including a translucency effect that was not obvious at first glance how to implement. Finally we add auto-paging to the app so that the app will continuously fetch the next page when you reach the bottom.

Now that we have a view for rendering link previews, now we integrate it into the timeline. We'll start by updating our model to capture links, then move on to adjusting the layout within the post view.

In this episode we take our authenticated session and use it to fetch the user's timeline on the selected server.

Gui Rambo joins us to build a Mastodon Client for macOS using SwiftUI. In this episode we'll show the app we'll be building and then start from a blank slate where we will cover some topics about how a SwiftUI macOS app is set up, how we can define some build settings using xcconfig files, and how to deal with building for different Apple Developer teams.

In order to control the font, size, and color of various text elements we need a way to implement selection of one or more text elements. In this episode we will refactor our code to lift up some state into an observable object so that we can control the selected text items from another view outside the canvas.

To allow the user to edit the text elements, we'll add a binding for isEditing and swap out the Text element for a TextField. We'll then utilize onSubmit and a tap gesture to go in and out of the edit mode. Finally, using a derived binding, we can ensure that only one field is showing as editable at a given time.

In this episode we will add a toolbar button to add new text elements. We'll see how to quickly add a stroke around our text to make it readable. Then we'll implement smooth dragging to position the text elements on the canvas.

We start with a literal blank canvas. We'll use NSApplicationDelegateAdaptor and NSDocumentController with our SwiftUI app to ensure a new document is always created on launch. Then we'll introduce drag & drop behavior to allow a user to drag an image from the Finder to our app to display it.

We start looking at SwiftUI on the Mac. We'll go over how document-based apps work, and see how much functionality and standard behavior we can get with just a few lines of code. This will be the basis for a new app we'll make called Memeify.

In this episode we create an image cache using an actor that provides disk-caching for images from the Unsplash API. We'll also talk about Sendable and enable some compiler warnings to help us catch potential issues.
