thanks for the kind words

Building custom UI in the new aesthetic with a great team was a lot of fun – thanks @gavin.social, Josh, Alessandro, and @bryanstern.bsky.social <3

Of course, we're not compromising on accessibility. Our material respects Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion, and Reduce Transparency just like the system material does – as well as Display Borders starting in iOS 26.1.

For the iconic split bars and floating buttons, iOS 26 introduced, we're combining #UIKit's UIVisualEffectView and multiple #SwiftUI shaders to build an understated material that matches the physicality of Liquid Glass.

For our new navigation pattern, we're not using TabView or NavigationStack – instead, a UINavigationController wrapped in UIViewControllerRepresentable manages all view presentation. When you switch tabs, we replace its viewControllers array using a custom crossfade transition.

Yes, exactly!

And here's the whole thing in action

When animating a count in #SwiftUI, use `monospacedDigits()` so the frame doesn’t change as frequently – however, that can leave leading 1s look disconnected so I'm skipping it for the first digit while keeping formatting intact gist.github.com/robb/f8fdcca...
