Just published a new article on a Sunday, like the good old days when I used to write weekly Swift articles 😀 This one is about getting started building a design system for an iOS app: https://www.swiftbysundell.com/articles/building-a-design-system-at-genius-scan

New article about deciding whether to use 'let' or 'var' when declaring Swift struct properties! 😀

@florian Right, which doesn't make much of a difference when targeting Apple's platforms, but still, might be worth adding an explicit note about that within the article. Thanks for the feedback!

New article about a bit of a hidden gem within Swift's built-in Codable API - CodableWithConfiguration, which is super useful when we need to decode a type which requires additional data not present in the JSON (or whichever other data we're decoding from): https://www.swiftbysundell.com/articles/decoding-swift-types-that-require-additional-data
Decoding Swift types that require additional data | Swift by Sundell

How Swift’s CodableWithConfiguration API can be used to inject additional, required data into a type’s decoding process, without having to use optionals or declare any additional decoding-specific types.
