This was the most recent SwiftUI experiment. Nothing fancy just trying to understand how to work with shadows. I’ve done similar effects using CSS if you remember here on the blog.

So if you know nothing about SwiftUI, you love Swiss Style and you want to get started learning to code look no further.
