I've now updated all iOS screenshots on exploreswiftui.com with their Liquid Glass variants. Additionally, the code is now formatted much more nicely, and the screenshot variant is now synced with the browser’s dark mode setting.

Exploreswiftui.com will soon see a big update with dedicated support for Liquid Glass. I’ll update screenshots of existing elements while keeping the flat versions. This also enables exploring the new language and comparing it with the old flat design.

Interesting. Simply displaying this table seems to be extremely expensive on the main actor and it prevents the chart from updating immediately, even though fetching the data only takes a few milliseconds. Is Table really that costly to render or am I missing something?

Ugh. What a tough decision: supporting cross-device sync via CloudKit requires all primary keys to be UUIDs. My tests showed inserts up to 60% slower and queries around 30% slower with a million rows. But not having the option for sync would suck too.

Querying one million rows with 12 properties each fully locally using SQLite. I think this is pretty decent performance, especially considering that such a large dataset is only expected for a very small user base. The UI is powered by SwiftUI and Swift Charts.

What a rough journey. I originally started this project with SwiftData, but reading got painfully slow with just a few 100k entries. Switching to Core Data solved this, but insert performance was still similar to SwiftData. I am now using SQLiteData and it's great.

I played a few minutes with the Sora 2 app and generated some Xcode AI slop. What kind of dystopian world are we heading toward if we spend our days consuming this junk?
