I'm very happy to share that my new book, 'The SwiftUI Way', is finally out! I wrote this guide for developers who are already working with the framework and are looking for deeper guidance on making the right technical choices.

One of my strongest early developer memories was being in the “UI Feedback Forum” at WWDC after they introduced Aqua. Think of a live Q&A, but developers giving notes to a team of Apple engineers.

To these veteran Mac coders, the reaction to Aqua was universally negative. People were actively very angry. It’s a waste! It’s ugly! It’s confusing! How could you. It went on and on, and I was surprised because Aqua looked cool and fun to me.

After that WWDC, they never did another Feedback Forum.

This has to be one of the crazier things you can do with #swiftui? Make dynamic videos with SwiftUI and live stream them to Youtube, twitch etc. Have the live stream react in realtime to outside events, database values, or anything else you can dream up with #swift. Would love your feedback: https://github.com/StreamUI/StreamUI
