Feels like a good time to remind everyone of the reduce transparency setting on iOS. This lets users tell you they find it easier to use UI with solid colours. Listen to the environment property in SwiftUI and remove/reduce transparency in your ui where appropriate.

@RobW so much was going on with the blurring effects when they scrolled down the page π it was definitely unexpected to see
@aleck haha thanks all good, I figured it out already! In my scenario it was a vertically + horizontally centered stack of text that should vertically scroll when you enable dynamic type and the text doesnβt fit the available space. Somehow I always think it would be easier than it is in the end π
It's 2025 and I'm still struggling to correctly add UIScrollViews to my views π crying in UIKit

@mattiem oh no! Did you find a way to recover the file?
iCloud just synced in the wrong direction and my note just disappeared π¨ I wanted to open it on another device. Itβs nowhere to be found, on neither of the devices. Fun!
