Always learning new things

Yesterday I went to #Unwrap Live 2024. This online, all day, SwiftUI programming class by Paul Hudson from Hacking With Swift fame, was all about the Apple Vision Pro this year.

I love the way Paul explains code, techniques, and APIs. The other valuable thing is, he is willing to rathole on a question that someone brings up during the sessions. His incredible knowledge of Apple’s APIs is amazing. During the session yesterday, someone asked about rendering a video on a 3D object, he was able to add the feature, explaining how and why you may make certain choices, etc. Amazing.

Well, during the session yesterday, Paul explained a few things about Apple’s materials choice for VisionOS. I realized that the version of Wasted Time that I made available for day one release, would not only violate much of the material design, but also cause people eye strain. Today, I spent time redesigning the UI of Wasted Time Pro, and also all the related versions of the app. I have submitted it to Apple for review, and hopefully the newer version will be available on launch day too. Fingers crossed!
