Do you ever use a whiteboard? 👩🏼🏫
I am curious, I have been using a whiteboard since the early days of my career, I would often be that person in the office visualising what everyone was saying or sketching ideas for a project I was working on. It wasn't really for anyone benefit other than mine.
I have continued this practice right through my 12 years of programming. In fact, it was the very first thing I installed in my first house and was the very first thing I installed in my current house. I just find it extraordinarily useful to draw out something, so I can visualise it; I guess you might do too.
It's an interesting concept, don't get me wrong, I like to use digital platforms for things as well, but there is nothing better than physically drawing or sketching.
My whiteboard is currently 70% SwiftLeeds and 30% ideas.
Let me know in this thread.

iOS Job Opportunities
I don't have to remind you anymore about the past 3 weeks when I was made redundant. I will be shocked if you don't know the story by now. Anyway, as part of my new series blogging about this process, I have released all the amazing opportunities that came my way; it's the least I could do. I hope it might help you when searching or help the companies find fantastic talent.

Supporting universal links in a SwiftUI application by Natascha Fadeeva
Ah, Universal Links or Deep Links as they're often referred to. We have multiple flavours of this in iOS, and can often be either confusing or difficult to understand. Natascha does a great job covering this.
