Day 116. It is possible to use custom fonts and for them to still work great with Dynamic Type. You need to define the default size and use UIFontMetrics to get the scaled font for each one of the styles you'd like to use. #365DaysIOSAccessibility developer.apple.com/document…
Four labels with the text "Large Title" exemplifying the size for extra small, large (default), extra-extra-extra large, and 5th accessibility size. There is some code showing how to do that with a custom font, in this case: ComicNeue-Regular. It creates a font with the name of the font and the size 34.0 (for the default size). Then it creates a UIFontMetrics for the .largeTitle text style. And finally, it configures the font for the label y calling scaledFont on the font metrics created, and passing the custom font as a paramterer.

Updating the #100DaysOfSwiftUI for iOS 15 is so nice – lots of Swift and SwiftUI improvements combine to mean less code, and clearer code too. I've already released updates through to day 28: hackingwithswift.com/100/swi…

I often talk about adding alt text to images, but I never actually talk about what makes good alt text, for people who are unsure. So here's my perspective as a sighted person who sometimes uses a screen reader. Tips for writing alt text for images and gifs:

Xcode tip #2: When building software, it’s important to make sure your app works for *everyone*. One great way to do that is with Xcode’s environment overrides panel, which lets you adjust Dynamic Type size, accessibility options, and appearance all in one place.

I imagine all the closures and cancellations give people a sense of ominousness. But it's really an amazing act of social solidarity: We're sacrificing so we can give nurses, doctors and hospitals a fighting chance. Start from there and hopefully we can figure out the rest.

I have a feeling that `git merge --squash` is going to be my new best friend. It seems to be exactly what I wanted. git-scm.com/docs/git-merge
Thought I would just write a quick & simple little iCalendar data parser. 80% of my time on it was for timezones & daylight savings :-(
