👋🏼 Welcome to SwiftlyRush
Building your own website and publishing content is so much fun, but I have to be honest you have to remain motivated everyday so that you can keep on publishing new content. I have always had motivation because I published regularly for raywenderlich.com but doing it for yourself is a new skill.
However, this week I reached a whole new audience level, each day I average 150 unique people visiting my website and my yearly average is now 12k. This is such a rewarding feeling and really does excite me to keep on pushing new content for you.
I hope you're enjoying my content and newsletter and I thank you dearly for all the support :]

UnwrappingButton: Ensuring data in SwiftUI by Magnus Jenson
SwiftUI pushes the MVVM architecture and when Apple announced SwiftUI it was the first time I have ever heard Apple reference a specific architecture. Many SwiftUI View's will require some level of data and I love this idea from Magnus on preserving valid data.
💡 And Finally...
Apple is launching another suite of Developer Sessions running from Feb 15 to March 29. It's a great opportunity to reach out to some Apple folk if you have any questions.
