SwiftUI – built a real world application using Core Data

Most courses teach simple concepts and give an overview of all the different features of SwiftUI. In order to master development, there is nothing better than building a fully fletched application. In this course, we will go through all the main steps. I want to showcase the whole development process with SwiftUI. From app idea to MVP. You will get to know my workflow and how I make my design decisions. Follow me along in creating this amazing app.

What are we going to build?

I couple of months ago someone in the co–working space introduced me to the Zettelkasten method. Maybe you heard of the second brain movement or software solutions like roam research. They are all talking about the same problem: you read all this information and you want to keep it at a well organized place for later use. But you never find it again.

The Zettelkasten is a note–taking system developed by a German social scientist, Niklas Luhmann. Luhmann published an insane amount of books and scientific papers.

His trick: the Zettelkasten. It is an archive of notes (Zettelkasten is the German word for slip box). Luhmann had over 80 000 notes in his box at the end. In order to find a piece of information he used an index register and he linked notes to other notes to other notes. Thus following a train of notes feels like following a train of thoughts. You can communicate with the Zettelkasten like it is your second brain.
