This week I was also a speaker at the @createwithswift.bsky.social Napoli meetup!
The first meetup with speakers was back in April, and I was thrilled to give a talk on accessibility then.
6 months + many new experiences later, I came back to spread the word on the new SwiftUI instrument 😁

I spent the weekend building a fun little project with this amazing group for the Big Hack, and guess what? We won the hackaton! 🥳
We dug deep into psychology papers and made a pretty neat AR game out of them.
Even with the sleep deprivation, it was a pretty cool way to spend the weekend 😁

The workshop day of the @serversideswift.info is a wrap. I learned a lot, learned that there is much more I do not know, but I know tomorrow will be a great official first day of the conference.

Last week I had the joy of presenting a workshop on the new SwiftUI Instrument at @swiftisland.bsky.social!

Props to everyone involved in the WWDC Group labs!!
Today I joined the Swift group lab and got to understand the new features and language behaviors a little better
It was a very very pleasant surprise how didactic the discussions were :)

One of the most fun parts of being in a wwdc watch party is seeing what people respond to the most
the new macOS color-changing folders, for example, got a big chorus of “oooh”s and applauses haha

Feels like a good time to remind everyone of the reduce transparency setting on iOS. This lets users tell you they find it easier to use UI with solid colours.
Listen to the environment property in SwiftUI and remove/reduce transparency in your ui.

Coming to the UK for Swift Craft has given me the chance to explore London a bit more.
I finally got to see the Big Ben and some of the beautiful parks and markets here 🥹
Also got super lucky with the weather 😅

I’ve had such an amazing day at Swift Craft! The talks were incredibly interesting + they had this really fun initiative of letting participants sign up for “lightning talks”. I gave it a shot and did a super super simple version of a talk I gave recently on accessibility :)
