I got another chunk of 100 Days of SwiftUI done today. I also started putting together the parts for the new iNat computer vision training server. It posted on the first try!

No coding today for 100 Days of SwiftUI, just a video to watch. Some of it was a …

Oh man, what a crazy day today. I got another day of 100 Days of SwiftUI done, but the big change for me was having my first day back in the office since before COVID.

I had a lot of fun with the challenge today, but I struggled a little …

Drawing Challenges

A wee bit more 100 Days of SwiftUI done today.

The challenges were very straightforward today, perhaps because Paul isn't expecting many people to be interested in 2d drawing. However, since I've been cranking away on this stuff anyways for my own interests in my Generative Art explorations, this coverage …

More Drawing

More 100 Days of SwiftUI done today. I've used CGAffineTransform a little bit, but I'm still not really comfortable with 2d transforms (much less 3d). I guess if I wanna do a lot of drawing with code, I'll have to get comfortable with this.

I don't think I'll have much …

Yay, another easy day of 100 Days of SwiftUI! I'm on day 40, that seems like a lot of days.

Only one thing was really new to me technically: using a DateFormatter to make a custom .dateDecodingStrategy for JSONDecoder is kinda cool, for those times when you can't just use …

Moonshot Project Intro

Man, it's ups and downs all week. I'm mentally doing well but struggling physically today. Happily, I've stuck with 100 Days of SwiftUI and gotten another day done.

I'd only just started exploring GeometryReader in my generative art experiments recently, so it was nice to see it introduced in 100 …
