Swift's Observation framework rethinks how model objects communicate changes to SwiftUI. This is the first post in my Swift series, walking through @Observable and @State with a concrete drag-coordination class as the running example.

I've been building a habit-logging iOS app called ProjectDawn. Not because the App Store needs another habit tracker, but because I wanted a personal project that was genuinely mine and open source, and a project that can answer this openly: what does it feel like to build a real, modular, native iOS app with AI as a primary collaborator?

This post is part personal log, part technical retrospective. It covers the tools I used, what surprised me, where the AI fell flat, and the biggest shifts in how I think about building things now.
