Have prototype of my Mac-IOS app Hypertexts running with SwiftUI. SwiftUI is cleaner to code than AppKit-UIKit. Easier to prototype new features.

My release target is SwiftUI v1 API on SwiftUI v2 runtime. Runs well on IOS 14. Hope that MacOS 11.0 fixes issues seen on OSX 10.15. No new computer yet. Expected finish in 2022, available for IOS 14-15 and MacOS 11.0-11.1. Hope to avoid the bleeding edge and support the last 2 releases.

UX Design

Similar sidebar and canvas layout. Use stacks, list, tabview, and fundamental elements: text, image, button, divider, spacer, etc.

Parts

• Search bar wrapper
• Text view wrapper
• My toolbar
• No navigation view
• No toolbar

SwiftUI v1 Runtime

• IOS 13 (n/a)
• OSX 10.15 (various issues: list crashes and runaway memory, core data-cloudkit sync crashes)

Various issues with SwiftUI v1 runtime on MacOS 10.15, that do not occur on SwiftUI v2 runtime on IOS 14.

SwiftUI v2 Runtime

• IOS 14 (pass)
• MacOS 11.0 (TBD)

Model Design

Design of model fundamentally the same, with widespread adoption of background task and delta-sync algorithms, for title and content indexes, import-export and cloud sync.

Features

Content search, find, print and import-export consistent both IOS and Mac.

What I hope Apple announces at WWDC 2021

SwiftUI v3

• Search bar
• Text editor selection and rich text
• Outline or tree view with move
• Tab view with button bar style (especially MacOS)

Fixes

• Fix IOS list selection (works on OSX 10.15)
• Fix CoreData-CloudKit sync, especially crashes and support logs.

We know food groups are the cause of most chronic diseases, because clinical interventions and epidemiology show they are prevented, halted or reversed when the food groups are removed.

The cause of death is not the same as the symptom. Current methods record symptoms (heart attack, stroke, blood sugar, dementia, etc.) that are explained in terms of vital signs and lab tests (risk factors: body mass, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood fat) and non-specific behaviors (diet, smoking, exercise).

Top 10 Causes of Death

1. Meat
2. Dairy
3. Eggs
4. Oils
5. Refined Flours
6. Refined Sugars
7. Coronavirus
8. Smoking
9. Accidents
10. Drugs

Assumptions

• Cause of all chronic disease (except COPD) is animal food and processed food groups. Contribution of each food group is total chronic diseases (except COPD) divided by number of foods.
• Cause of COPD is primarily smoking.
• Coronavirus is separate cause, and not just complication of chronic diseases.

Shopping Order

1. Produce first.
2. Dry goods second.
3. Packaged goods third. Read back of package ingredients.
4. Frozen foods last.

Why do some people never get sick?

And others always get sick, and very sick.

Infection != Disease

Most recently, with corona, we have seen persons exposed to the virus, infected with the virus, who show no or mild symptoms. Called asymptomatic. This is not some special mode of the covid virus. This happens daily, where our bodies handle most infections without our consciousness.

Our bodies detect the infection and eliminate the virus. However, this is not just the action of the immune system. This is the action of the multiple connected immune, digestive, circulatory and respiratory systems working together. Mucus from our airways is fed into our gut. Our gut microbiome communicates with our gut, our immune system and our brain. Our gut supplies nutrients to our circulation. Our blood supplies hormones, immune agents and nutrients to our lungs.

It is not just the immune system and antibodies. Disease occurs when one or more of these system and their connections weakens and fails. Which happens with repeated abuse. Injuries accumulate with age. Kids have the fewest. The elderly have the most.

Your Habits = Your Health

What habits weaken our body systems? Drugs, smoking, drinking, meat, mostly junk food.

What habits strengthen our body systems? Clean air, water and real food, mostly plants.

• Good habits.
• Whole body.
• Not luck.
• Not genes.
• Not just immune system.

What happened to Whole Plants Blogspot com?

My Happy New Year 2020 post explained part of the story. I wanted to link between recipes. I needed to order my recipes by subject (pages), not by date (posts). Blogger search does not support pages, only posts. So no content on my recipe pages could be searched. No search by ingredients, for example. Aware of the Blogger page search issue, I also made parallel effort to build a WordPress blog. Everything I wrote on Blogger I also copied to WordPress. Blogger also does not support Markdown edit. Formatting was always a chore with Blogger WYSIWYG. These 2 issues caused me to decide to switch to WordPress.

My new blog is http://michaelswarm.home.blog.

My old blog is http://wholeplants.blogspot.com.

A small number of basic and standard dishes. Not hundreds of recipes most that are never made. High percentage of main dishes (pizza, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, spaghetti, lasagna). Not just salads, soups and sides. Recipes should to be maintained, adjusted and improved. Not one off and abandoned.

A long time ago, in 2012, I started my whole food plant based recipes blog. I was new to cooking for health. I was new to blogging. Fast forward to 2020. I want to keep my recipes easy to write, easy to use, and easy to maintain.

My Recipe Parameters

• No added oils.
• No added sugars. But small occasional exceptions, primarily for sauces.
• Limit salt to less than 1 tsp per day. 1/4 tsp per dish for 4 dishes.
• No high fat foods. But small occasional exceptions for peanut butter, avocado or tofu for kids. Too often plant based recipes, especially meat substitutes, cheese substitutes, sauces and deserts, are rich in nuts.
• Limit smoothies and juices to occasional dishes.

My Page Parameters

• Keep it simple.
• No photos.
• No stories.
• Just the ingredients.
• Just the instructions.
• Refer to preparation when other recipes used as ingredients.
• Mention uses.
• Mention tips and techniques.
• Withstand the test of time.
• Keep recipes updated.

Watch people from other cultures. There are populations without heart disease, cancer, diabetes or dementia. This was normal for most of history. Without famine, except for infections and accidents, we could all live active long lives. The kings, queens and priests were an exception. They ate rich foods and did suffer these diseases. This is how these diseases were known to ancient doctors.

Watch nature. Every other animal instinctually knows its diet. They are neither skinny nor fat. No other animal counts calories. Gorillas, elephants and oxen get all the protein they need without eating meat.

Trust your instinct and intuition. Fresh raw fruits and vegetables are instinctually appealing. Fresh raw animals and meats are not. They are only made appealing with cooking technology. We don’t need a randomized controlled trial to know what to eat. We also know that pills are not good for us.
