I have extensive knowledge about bottlenecks, limitations, and issues in SwiftUI. For more complex interfaces, like custom grid layouts, I have utilized UIKit wrapped into SwiftUI. Being a strong advocate for simplicity and user experience, I have been exploring SwiftUI since it was first introduced. My work on projects like GetLost demonstrates how I effectively utilize this powerful tool to create intuitive interfaces that greatly enhance the overall user experience.
