This article sums up how I’ve been feeling these weeks: the #LiquidGlass is visually distracting, with performance, battery and readability issues, on top of that developers now have to test and maintain 2 different designs, it feels like design-first, usability-second🥲. #iOS26

Building a new app using Apple Intelligence + SpeechTranscriber.
Supporting iOS 18 means extra work for AI fallbacks and two different design systems.
Going iOS 26-only helps me to stay sane 😅 but limits users.
What would you do? 🤔

Using a #SwiftUI bindable Environment value to change the selectedTab from anywhere in the app, feels cleaner than creating an Observable class for just one property:

With #SwiftUI, I skip wireframes entirely.
Need a button? Code it.
A screen flow? Build and test it within minutes.
Designers can tweak values and fine-tune animations. ✨Figma just can’t beat that.
