MacRumors • • general
Key Points:
- Notion is migrating its user interface to SwiftUI to achieve better performance and UI consistency, moving away from its previous web-based and Electron architecture.
- This transition was highlighted by Apple during its Platforms State of the Union as an example of a major app shifting from cross-platform web technologies to native Apple frameworks.
- Notion had already begun moving its iOS and Android apps toward native rendering, and the current effort extends this approach more substantially using SwiftUI.
- Apple emphasized that AI-assisted development tools are making code porting to Swift easier, encouraging more developers to adopt native Apple frameworks.
- The SwiftUI update introduces numerous improvements, including faster layout resizing, enhanced container interactions, more granular toolbar controls, and a new document infrastructure for efficient file handling.
