Reach for alignment guides and coordinate spaces when default stack alignment is not expressive enough.

Clipping controls what is visible, masking controls alpha, and contentShape controls where interaction happens.

Use compositingGroup and drawingGroup to control how SwiftUI combines effects, shadows, opacity, and complex drawing.

Prefer foregroundStyle and tint for modern SwiftUI color styling, especially when controls, symbols, gradients, and semantic materials mix.

Create reusable control styles when repeated UI behavior belongs to the component system rather than a single screen.

Move repeated visual decisions into ViewModifier and Shape extensions so the UI reads like product language.

Control whether images keep original colors, act as templates, scale smoothly, or stay crisp for pixel-style art.

Pick the simplest gesture that matches the user's intent, then promote to explicit Gesture values only when you need state or composition.

Combine gestures with simultaneous, sequenced, exclusive, and high-priority relationships when a view needs more than one interaction.
