Finished apple's swift-ui tutorial

It's amazing how bad the tutorial is. Writing good docs and making tutorials is not a result of coding skills but of empathy. The devs that made this tutorial are very good at coding.


To get into details now:

The tutorial skips over language basics, core concepts and makes a lot of assumptions about what you understand. Several times I felt it was built for existing iOS developers getting into swift ui.

That aside, I managed to build an app for iOS and a WatchOS companion app. So that is nice. I do not understand how I would get data from an api, or even if it is possible. I do not really get how/where user preferences and data are saved in the app. I feel there is a different paradigm around data/preferences persistence but it isn't clear what it is.

I have to read the docs. They are so boring though.
