Excited to reintroduce Garnish, a Swift Package for intelligent contrast in your UI. Great for accessibility and visual harmony.

Still early development, bugs may be present, open to feedback

Portal is a SwiftUI package for seamless transitions between views – across navigation pushes, sheets, and more – built around a flexible portal metaphor.

Big update for Portal! Portal now uses modern iOS 17 APIs, with fallbacks for previous versions, as well as an improved API with more customization and smoother text animations

new update for NotchMyProblem💙(position content around the iPhone's cutout)

improved compatibility across devices – padding, bounds, etc. now auto-adjust for the space, and added new APIs for configuring behavior + improved naming

github.com/Aeastr/Notch...
The image showcases a collection of Apple device interfaces, all designed around a central "NotchMyProblem" logo where the 'O' in "Notch" is an elongated, pill-shaped element mirroring the iPhone's Dynamic Island. Specifically, an iPhone SE displays "Delete" and "All" buttons. An iPhone 16e features side-mounted "Cancel" and "Share" buttons. An iPhone 16 Pro is depicted with "Cancel" and "Export" buttons near its Dynamic Island, and another view shows a "Save" button. Finally, an iPad interface includes a pink "Finish" button.

new package ⚡ MenuWithAView – a SwiftUI package that lets you add an accessory view to your context menu interactions in addition to the standard menu content, using UIKit's private _UIContextMenuAccessoryView.

github.com/Aeastr/MenuW...
A stylized app icon, designed to look like a device frame, displays a chat interface. A message bubble containing "shhh" is visible, and above it, a reaction picker is open, showing several emojis: wide eyes, a figure in a trench coat with a magnifying glass, a padlock, and a handbag. Other message bubbles are in the background, out of focus. The icon is set against a blue background, and below it, the text "MenuWithAView" is displayed in white.

Neat update for Portal 🌀

.portalTransition now takes in item, meaning you can trigger transitions using the same declarative, data-driven pattern as SwiftUI's .sheet(item:...)

New Sticker creation screen on a smartphone, shown in portrait with a black bezel and center “pill” notch. At the top, a white, rounded‑rectangle “Discard” button sits at left and a beige “Done” button at right. Below, the header “New Sticker” is centered in a warm brown font. The main area displays a sticker preview: a small terracotta pot filled with soil, sprouting five bright green leaves, all outlined in white with a faint green glow. The background behind the sticker is light gray with a fine, evenly spaced dot grid. Along the bottom edge is a translucent toolbar of four evenly spaced capsules on a white background: (1) a camera symbol, (2) a photo‑gallery thumbnail, (3) overlapping circles with the label “Filters,” and (4) a circle with a pencil and the label “Border.”

When animate flips to true, it drives the overlay to animate from source → destination. When animate flips back to false, it reverses the animation. This overlay is only visible during the transition, the views attached to source and destination are show when the transition finishes

Each uses anchors to capture its view’s bounding rect in the parent coordinate space, storing it in a shared array keyed by it's ID.

Wherever you want to trigger the move (often on the parent container of your sheet or navigation), you call portalTransition(id: "X", ..) {}

You mark exactly the two views you want to animate:
.portalSource(id: "X") on the “leaving” view
.portalDestination(id: "X") on the “arriving” view
