👋🏼 Welcome to SwiftlyRush
This week has been full of emotions 🥹
I successfully launched my first actual iOS application from scratch. That was my idea, and this has never happened before. Okay, granted, I have launched my apps before, but nothing that I thought would be useful.
I give you VStack, with over 20 videos that I recorded only for the app with annotated scripts to go alongside. They're all unique in that they feature real coding examples and how to implement certain SwiftUI features.
The app will also give you random challenges based on your completed topics, and you can earn achievements throughout.
I hope you will give it a go ;]!
🥳 What's New

It's quite possibly something we don't think about enough; you should always be mindful about what frameworks you're embedding and what is going on under the hood of those. Some great tips in this article about that.
