I think you're the only one that does Mac OS tutorials with SwiftUI and I love it! Thank you!

Glad you like it! I really enjoy macOS development.

This is so cool. Kudos for pushing what really needs to be pushed, which is to use a very good framework to make apps for a highly popular OS. Everyone falls into the trap of "only" making iOS apps when learning swiftUI!

Hello Karin Thank you for the informative content. Will you address how to take fullscreen screenshots with multiple monitors in a future video? I seem to only be able to take screenshots of my primary monitor even when it is not showing the active app/window. Simon
