TIL that there is no “native” way to have duration time inputs in swiftui.

this led me to implement my own. i wanted stay away from the scroll-type inputs you see in apps like timer, because they seem awfully inefficient and demand A LOT of space.

i think it came out nice. wdyt?

a feature more ui frameworks should have is automatic text inflection.

in swiftui, you don't have to worry about handling plural/singular form changes.

if you do `^[\(count)] exercises](inflect: true)` swiftui will handle that for you!

it's small, but i love that in swift you are not forced to explicitly define every single argument in a closure expression.

it conveniently lets you access all the parameters with the $0, $1, $n syntax.

do you think the workout timer text should be inlined or stacked?

Building products solo with generative AI is game changing.

Just a few prompts can give you a tailored campaign image for your product.

This one goes on my newsletter sign up page to create some visual connection. You can check it out @ plates.framer.website

I’m building an iOS workout tracker for lifters that feels native and charges once (no monthly).

Beautiful design, no subscriptions, and PR tracking that actually helps you progress.
