👋🏼 Welcome to SwiftlyRush
It's the weekend, yay! 🎉
I feel super motivated this week and I was just checking my git history at the company I work for and realized I committed so much code and it certainly reflects the motivational levels I have been feeling recently.
How do you keep motivated? Let me know with the usual channels.
In other news, I started another side-project that is completely unrelated to iOS or Swift (other than it's an iOS app of course) but it's to support my wife in her course on Midwifery, really excited to be doing something very different.
By the way, this is issue 50 and I can't believe I have released this many consecutive newsletters!
I hope you have a great week ahead 🚀

Binary Targets in Swift Package Manager by Antoine van der Lee
Binary Targets in Swift Package Manager (SPM) allow packages to declare xcframework bundles as available targets. The technique is often used to provide access to closed-source libraries and can improve CI performance by reducing time spent on fetching SPM repositories.

A smart little article by Donny, by providing a default value for your SwiftUI Bindings, super useful and time to get using this!

This is not technical, but I stumbled across this article by Becky and found it quite beautiful. I am assuming it's related to all the people deciding to part ways with Twitter, loved it.
