Last Light

Capture thoughts about today.

Thoughts

What do I think and feel about today's activities?

• There were some challenges resolving differences from parsing JSON responses into domain models, and trying to use them also an SwiftData entity models
• The solution was to have both Post and PostEntity models with mapping between them, which offers better architecture layering.

Questions

Any questions for research or exploration?

• Revisit some previous Swift projects to identify code that I can reuse again, or at least find examples and techniques that will be helpful.
• Think about user interface design and navigation scenarios for typical Ghost workflows.

Actions

What can I do next?

• Add Swift testing to the project for Ghost APIs, JSON parsing, Swift domain models, and SwiftData database operations.
• Create some test Ghost sample data for SwiftUI previews and SwiftData testing.
