๐ŸŒŠ Mastering SwiftUI Drawing โ€” Animated Loaders, Waves & Custom UI with Shape, Path & Canvas

Hey SwiftUI builders ๐Ÿ‘‹

I've just published a detailed guide on SwiftUIโ€™s drawing system โ€” and itโ€™s more powerful than most people realize!

In this article, I cover:

  • ๐ŸŒŠ Creating full-screen animated ocean waves using Canvas and TimelineView
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Building custom loaders with Shape and gradient-stroked Path
  • ๐Ÿง  When to use Shape vs Path vs Canvas โ€” explained with real-world use cases

No external libraries, no fluff โ€” just clean, modern SwiftUI techniques you can start using today.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Read the full article on Medium

Would love to hear your feedback or see what you've drawn with SwiftUI!
