RVS_Spinner

That's nice! I wrote a Swift package that does a similar thing (but as an iOS widget): https://github.com/RiftValleySoftware/RVS_Spinner My own experience, is that I keep on not using it in my projects. It's too much of an "in your face" widget. I was going to do a SwiftUI version of it, but stopped working on it, when I figured out that I probably wouldn't use it. I suspect that MacOS, with the cursor-oriented navigation, is a better home for it.

Just to expand, I have found that the best UI, is the UI that no one notices, appreciates, or compliments. Bit humbling, but there you have it. Case in point: I have a fancy “prize wheel spinner” for UIKit, that I wrote, a few years ago[0]. I started working on a SwiftUI version of it, but stopped. The reason was, because I kept not using it, in my shipping projects. It’s too “in your face.” Some of the UI approaches that I tried, in my test app, were “sexy,” but I didn’t use any of them. The one I ended up using, was a bit pedestrian. [0] https://github.com/RiftValleySoftware/RVS_Spinner

Like I said, anybody that designs anything, to be used by anyone. Graphic designers often design stuff that isn't meant to be used. It only applies to the ones that design stuff to be used. But anyone that designs anything to be used (whether a graphic designer, engineer, or architect), should have a good grasp of Usability, IMNSHO, even though it's obvious that a lot of folks don't think that should be the case. In my experience, I've come to learn that usable interfaces stay out of the way. There's a reason that waitstaff usually wear black. When an interface is "in your face," it may elicit an "Ooh!" or an "Ah!" at first, but the novelty rapidly declines. I've been designing unusual interfaces for most of my adult life, and have come to learn that there's a reason the classics are so prevalent. I write about that here[0]. Here's an exa
