Short, curated notes. One email when something good lands.
Treat SwiftUI views as functions of state (UI = f(state)). Choose wrappers by ownership: @State for local simple values, @Binding to share edits, @StateObject for view-owned models, @ObservedObject for injected ones. Compute derived state, persist with @AppStorage.
Replace fragile NavigationLink hacks with NavigationStack, typed Hashable routes, and a central router: enables programmatic pushes/pops, deep links, and isolated tabs without state bugs.
Centralize Liquid Glass in iOS 26 apps using design tokens (e.g., card radius 28, stroke width 1), a single .glassSurface modifier with iOS 26 glassEffect fallback to ultraThinMaterial, and components like GlassCard for consistent, accessible glassy UIs that morph cohesively.
Structure code with MVVM from day one, use SPM for dependencies, master SwiftUI state wrappers, centralize APIs, add tests and AppDelegate early, and leverage free Apple ID plus TestFlight to ship without setup headaches.
Use a 'full layer cake' MVVM with Models, Repositories, Services, ViewModels, and Views to separate concerns in SwiftUI apps, enabling testability, maintainability, and growth without monolithic views.
