For HWS+ subscribers: Every new file gets the same default header comment, but Xcode has a flexible customisation system with built-in macros for filenames, project names, and more. https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/learn-something-new/personalizing-your-xcode-header

Personalizing your Xcode header – Hacking with Swift+

We make new files in Xcode all the time, but if you spend just a few minutes you can customize the comments that are automatically placed at the start to make them suit you much better.

I know a lot of people are jaded about Prime Day, but having spent a year studying Amazon's pricing, there are some truly good deals to be had if you look hard enough, which I did.

I compiled a list of the best deals on a load of gadgets, most of which I've used and reviewed myself.

Sometimes 64 bits just isn't enough, which is why Swift also support Int128 and UInt128. The evolution proposal itself admits the API is "uninteresting" - but those are very, very big numbers. https://www.hackingwithswift.com/swift/6.0/int128

Sunday Build with HWS+: An original word game where players fill a 5x5 grid to spell five words across and five words down simultaneously, with drag and drop plus tile locking. #SundayBuild https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/live-streams/5x5

5x5 – Hacking with Swift+

There are lots of word games, but very few original word games. Let’s build one today, with delightfully simple drag and drop mechanics plus locks in place to avoid annoying players as they progress.

containerRelativeFrame() lets you size views as fractions of their container: split the space into parts, assign a span, and let SwiftUI handle the maths. https://www.hackingwithswift.com/quick-start/swiftui/how-to-adjust-the-size-of-a-view-relative-to-its-container

You can access .lines directly on a URL to stream remote text data line by line. No URLSession boilerplate required, and it works beautifully for CSV parsing, real-time data, and simple text fetching. https://www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/241/how-to-fetch-remote-data-the-easy-way-with-url-lines

My favorite new Swift API from iOS 15

AsyncSequence and effectful read-only properties combine to make something beautiful.

For HWS+ subscribers: Ever wonder why you can write let names: Set = ["a", "b"] even though that looks like an array? ExpressibleByArrayLiteral is the protocol behind it, and you can use it in your own types too. 🧩 https://www.hackingwithswift.com/plus/inside-swift/expressible-by-array-literal

Expressible by array literal – Hacking with Swift+

Although Swift is a very strict language, it also sprinkles a great deal of syntactic sugar around to make our lives easier. Let's explore a part of that here: types that are expressible as array literals…
