#coreanimation — Public Fediverse posts

SwiftUI Is One Graph, Over 40+ Years of Engineering.

I measured the real framework until its behavior was predictable, then read Apple's granted patent. They agree, almost field for field: SwiftUI is one demand-driven graph, and the least interesting engine in the stack it rests on.

The marvel is underneath: Core Animation, by John Harper, Apple's Carmack and Torvalds, who almost no one can name. Start of a series.

#SwiftUI #CoreAnimation

Seriously, this "stupid autocomplete that just predicts tokens" understands and explains AppKit and Core Animation better than probably most iOS devs would… that's good enough for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#AppKit #CoreAnimation #MacDev

In this context I'm getting more and more annoyed to read this AI bullshit.

Okay, I gave this a try, but for some reason, it’s not working with all CATransitionTypes. Push and Reveal work, Flip not.

That is the best way to implement this as SwiftUI Transition? The old version was using a CATranstion (Flip) but I haven't figured a good / easy way as a transition.

I'm having way too much fun with this new UI for my Arrival Times view and some animation. #pdxtransit #swiftui #coreanimation

I finally found a reason to use my scrolling marquee that I made for Music Widget, QuickTune, etc. etc. for an iOS app...

My PDX Transit SwiftUI re-write!!! Check it out:

(still a work in progress but you get the idea!)

#swiftui #coreanimation #trimet #portland #pdxtransit

I wrote the scrolling marquee using Core Animation for my apps but a while back, I found some issues where the text would look blurry on non-retina displays.

Unfortunately I found a few more cases (still happening a lot less than before), but finally found the issue and fixed it.

The top image has the blurry text (in the titlebar), and the bottom image has it fixed. 🛠️😄

Text now appears super sharp on non-retina displays and have yet to see a blurry example.

#QuickTune #UIUX #CoreAnimation

I just posted a sample project to GitHub which has the code I wrote for the Brushed Metal background in QuickTune.

It seems performant but I am probably not the best in determining if it is at its most performant. Seems good though.

This is done in Core Animation layers & good for both 1x and 2x displays.

I hope to see more Brushed Metal interfaces soon 😉
