Do iOS is already over, and I had such a good time there. Meeting new folks, and catching up with already known people. I really enjoyed talking there.
Thank you so much for having me on stage, and big up to @appforce1.net and the organizing team for putting the conference together!

Retrieving a message.

Siri: "You received a message from ***"
Siri then read the entire message in the AirPod
Siri then proceed by asking: "should I read it?"

What a delightful experience. Wonder if it'll be better or worse when it'll be powered by LLM

At Do iOS, I'll have more time, so I'll also take the time to show how to implement many common SwiftUI pattern, and dive more into the flow of data between components in SwiftUI.
It's still time to grab your tickets!

What distinguishes a good UI component from a great one? It often comes down to the developer experience — specifically, how intuitive and flexible its public API is. Join @thomasdurand.bsky.social at SwiftConnection in Paris!
