Most of the examples you will find explaining how to create a #SwiftUI paging scrollView will say to use the new .paging behavior (or some older method)

This works fine if all your views are the same size. If you have different sized views you may become frustrated trying to make things work.

The trick is using .scrollTargetBehavior(.viewAligned)

This will center your disparate views on the screen in a nice paging manner. Good stuff.

Folks... in your Mac apps, if you use some symbol/shape to indicate a status, please for the love of whatever-higher-being-you-believe-in-OR-don’t...

add a damn tooltip to it. As users, we cannot read your mind whatever a "little red ring" means. Also, people who are colorblind wouldn't be able to tell either that it might be red.

Please read an OG Mac HIG from the 2000s. I promise it will help make your apps a lot better. Like, these are just Mac UX basics.

I love things in #SwiftUI like this button in your List will fire for all the items in the list unless you change it’s ButtonStyle.

Makes perfect sense.

Sigh.

#Xcode should have a way to override the preview compile timeout for complex setups.

I was trying to build a ModelContainer with a few photos and it takes longer than the allotted 5 seconds so it doesn’t work.

I found ways around it but that 5 seconds is arbitrary and could be adjustable.

Normally I want instant previews but this is “quicker" way to set up a complex environment repeatedly.

I suppose I could buy a new Mac Studio to speed things if that were possible.

We’ve reached that period before #WWDC where any new feature you may think about adding to your apps has to be considered with “will Apple make this better/easier/impossible” in the back of your mind.

It’s tempting to wait and see rather than work through some tricky #SwiftUI things
