This really speaks to me. I teach SwiftUI to people. I've written books and teach classes. The books don't work nearly as well (because many people just read it instead of actually…

oh yes, absolutely! I have a system that works well for me. But it's inherent to plain text files that they don't support attachments. It's plain text, after all.

In thinking a bit more, I think the biggest pain point for me is one with plain text in general: it supports no attachments. I have my own system to refer to specific files and bui…

Hi HN, After over a year of writing, we released our new book App Architecture. Very happy to answer any questions.

Every added feature also adds complexity (and to be fair, in some cases, removes complexity). I love type classes, but I discovered in playing with Elm and specifically, TEA (The E…

Hey HN! We're launching Swift Talk today :D. Happy to answer any questions. Enjoy!

Not yet, but it will be!

Thanks a lot!
