Me too. SwiftUI has made this a lot easier IMO and my overall goal of making something look “Apple-like” is a lot more reachable.

Self-promo warning: I make an app that is a design tool specifically for Apple platforms called DetailsPro: https://detailspro.app/
The whole point of it is basically to make designing with SwiftUI easier for more people by making it visual and block-based. You can get the Apple look and use the real elements themselves, rendered live on your device, without writing code.
Would love any feedback, especially from anyone who is getting a lot of out these design resources or Sketch and Figma!

A SwiftUI interface design tool, so you can design completely visually / without coding skills and export SwiftUI code.
The idea is to give platform app designers and app developers a completely honest bridge... two can be looking at the exact same work artifact and discuss it with dignity.
No more developers being like "I don't think it can look like that" and designers being like "why does that look off?". If it looks like that, well, that's real SwiftUI you're looking at so it can look like that. If it looks off, well, you both know how SwiftUI works now so update the design and send a new copy!
Just working on adding necessary features to the app and growing the community
DetailsPro: https://detailspro.app
If anyone has feedback, I would love nothing more than to hear it

Your app is so impressive! I remember seeing it on App Airport. Full-SwiftUI apps FTW!

Disclaimer: I make an app that is basically WYSIWYG SwiftUI for designers (https://www.detailspro.app).
I think the author put it best with "If you've undergone the mental paradigm shift, the productivity gains were worth the minor setbacks, which really weren’t so hard to fix."
My career has included periods where I had a React day job and a bunch of iOS side projects. So many times, I'd come home from work, stoked on React, and look at iOS and wish it were declaratively already. I actually took a stab at an open source, declarative UI library that's still on GitHub.
SwiftUI, IMO, brings the smarts of React, with many dashes of magic that only Apple HIG magic that only Apple could come up with. Definitely, there are plenty of holes today, but I never, ever, ever have to hook up a UITableViewDataSource and a UITableViewDelegate ever again, and for that I am infinitely thankful.
Looking purely ahead at SwiftUI and what it will do for Apple platform years from now. I recommend anybody who is thinking about it to try it out.
Soon enough, I'll forget the signatures of the UITableView stuff, and other UIKit stuff, happily.
Right now, it’s a bit basic, but I’m planning on adding prototyping, animation, and generally expanding its capabilities throughout the year.
I too agree it’d be great if designers could use SwiftUI because then you’re getting instant validation the whole time that your design is possible.
