The Roast of your App's Design
summary
Live redesigns of two real apps show concrete fixes: a Mac App Store Connect client reaches 4,000+ users and SwiftUI tricks like using foregroundStyle(.secondary) for tinted cell backgrounds, swipe-to-delete, modal creation flows and accessibility-safe insets; a student timetable flow drops from 13 taps to 6 by letting subjects be created inline and exposing “Today” with a lesson count; a room-scanner migrates slide-toggle to a segmented control, uses iOS 17 scan APIs, removes blocking ads and makes CTAs consistent and tappable.
