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

→ github.com/Aeastr/Garnish

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

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:...)

Would you prefer a more dense sticker grid in deco?

just updated, overlay management should be more reliable, there’s a new .portalContainer extension, and the docs/codebase are cleaner

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.”

How?

You wrap your root in: PortalContainer { … }

Under the hood this installs a transparent, non‑blocking Window that contains a single PortalLayerView. This overlay lives above your normal view hierarchy and will draw the floating animation layers.
