Video Description
https://github.com/brycebostwick/WidgetAnimation/ This was an incredibly fun one to make. There's a lot more detail that I didn't get to cover here, and a lot of directions that only partially worked that were still interesting — maybe for the future! Shoutout to these open-source repos for a lot of the techniques shown in this video: https://github.com/octree/ClockHandRotationKit https://github.com/everettjf/Xcode13ClockHandRotationEffectModifier https://github.com/TopWidgets/SwingAnimation https://github.com/tangtiancheng/DouYinComment Thank you Forja Studios for the incredible animation of Beans the Cat. More iOS nonsense over on https://bryce.co !
