Hi, I'm Mark Moeykens

I created Big Mountain Studio when I started my YouTube channel and started publishing programming videos.

Now I create picture books.

Did you say "picture books"?

Ha ha, yeah! 😂

I am a visual learner and when I am trying to find a solution, I can remember pictures faster than remembering a bunch of code.

So I created picture books like this free SwiftUI picture book:

SwiftUI Views Quick Start

I like to teach concepts with pictures:

And I like to teach code with pictures too:

Pictures or Videos on every page:

9 code errors

hi brother,

I've coded the FloatingActionButton as you coded

`import UIKit

class FloatingActionButton: UIButtonX {

override func beginTracking(_ touch: UITouch, with event: UIEvent?) -> Bool {

    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, animations: {
        if self.transform == .identity {
            self.transform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: 45*(.pi/ 180))
        } else {
            self.transform = .identity
        }
    })
    
 return super.beginTrcking(touch,with: event)
}

override func endTracking(_ touch: UITouch?, with event: UIEvent?) {
}

}`

but i got a 9 code errors, i've analysed the files which i downloaded from your github and ovserved there is one missing file which is ( UIViewXRotatable.swift ).

could you please upload this file, it might be this is the issue.

Designables Build Failed

Hello, I just added it to my project, I am trying to do the gradient thingy, however when I add the view and selectra UIViewX under it it says 'Designables Build Failed' I ignore It and select my first and 2nd colour but nothing happens.

UIButtonX tapping in quick succession

Love your designable UI classes! Wondering if you've noticed what I'm seeing... when creating a button and setting it's class to UIButtonX, the resulting button can't respond to button taps that are done in quick succession; seems like there is a period of animation or something going on where the button doesn't respond to all of the taps. If I slow down the tapping to about 1 or 2 taps per second, then it seems to respond ok.

Permanently failing to build

Put simply, the project (DesignableXTesting) doesn't build and all custom objects remain normal. I was browsing it to see what I could do with these Designables, but it won't build. No errors, no nothing. I click refresh all views and it just fails. Why?
