The linked Figma resources in the OP still aren’t available on https://developer.apple.com/design/resources/

Sure there are design resources but look at the resources themselves and compare them to Joey’s stuff.
I may be remembering incorrectly, but when I used Sketch the Apple design resources weren’t as comprehensive.

This is significant because all previous iOS resources attempting this level of detail have been created by the design community. A designer named Joey Banks created widely adopted UI Kits for iOS 13-16[1]. Earlier iOS resources were created by an agency called Teehan+Lax[2] and some others I’m forgetting now.
All community-created design resources have historically been really good best guesses. Now they’re available directly from Apple.
Apple is letting design teams reveal what’s happening on the inside a little bit and this is one example.

Some are. Look at the similarities between UIs in these movies and today’s Space X shuttle navigation UI:

A font snob wouldn’t ask this question :)
But I’m glad you asked. Learn about how font characters are structured[0]. Then zoom in, inspect and compare the details of a few characters from both fonts. This will help you understand how they’re different.

Xfinity has an app that lets you create profiles (for each individual in your family, for example) and associate them with devices. You can set time boundaries and limits on the profiles. This is the smaller, tactical side of a bigger strategy which is…
Discuss boundaries with your kids. Explain why healthy balance of screen time is important. Enable them to take responsibility for their own time. This is a long-term play ;)

I love it. The internet would be a boring place if it weren’t for “pages” like this. We design pages like this because unique, one-of-a-kind creations matter.
For the target audience, who think about typefaces more critically, there is value in a deep dive into the unique characteristics of this typeface. The why, the how. The entire site experience expresses and reinforces these ideas.

Disclosing these details to a popular blog seems to go against principles that keep him anonymous. My curiosity wonders which of the details ($55M, California, “sister”) are actually true or skewed to sustain his anonymity.
Tip of the hat to him for going 10 years(!!!) without telling anyone he won the lottery.

No, not organizationally related to the restaurant.

Agreed, although the idea of MyFitnessPal being killed for a moment activated my long-held desire to build an alternative. MFP is bloated, locked down (without a premium subscription) and the UX lacks thoughtfulness in many painful ways (two examples: navigating between diary dates and viewing macronutrients per meal).

In design this is called “the illusion of completeness.”
“The illusion of completeness happens when the visible content on the screen appears to be complete, when in fact more information exists outside of the viewable area.”[0]
It’s a designer’s job to create cues that ensure this never happens.

Reminds me of Nathan Barry (nathanbarry.com) who did the same thing before he launched a successful product called ConvertKit.

One thing Dan didn't mention in the article is that he wrote 3 books about web design before Dribbble's launch: Web Design Solutions (2004), Bulletproof Web Design (2005) and Handcrafted CSS (2009). These books were unique among the first to hit a then-niche market: web designers who cared about quality. This was the perfect set-up to launching a platform for web designers who cared about quality and likely foundational to the early growth of Dribbble.
