Now, it’s easier than ever to create lists in Airlist. Simply copy and paste any plain text or markdown list to directly import.

Airlist even has smart formatting for certain markdown syntax:

• #header turns into “project” formatting
• ##header turns into “header” formatting
• “-“ and “*” are removed from the start of lists

You can now edit multiple items at once with “multi-select” on iOS (iPhone and iPad). Check out the video to see how.

Try it now through TestFlight.

This is the experience you have been waiting for. A native and modern outliner for iOS (iPhone and iPad).

Airlist for iPhone and iPad has a very powerful share extension thanks to SwiftUI.

But the share extension API is still only available in AppKit. So how do you do it in SwiftUI? Follow below…

We built Airlist for the web with Vue, which out of the box comes with its own global state management library.

So naturally, when building Airlist with SwiftUI, it made sense to follow the same paradigm (i.e. Redux). A global state variable that was passed around by an environmentObject.

At first, it went fantastic. Easy to maintain, simple to implement, and very fast… until it wasn’t.

For the new iOS app for Airlist, I am building it in (as much as I can) SwiftUI. For anyone coming from React (or in our case, we use Vue to build the web app), SwiftUI is a welcome change vs UIKit. Yet, at times can be frustrating. Often times problems are not documented, and not available via a Google Search.
