			==== Testing ====

			Testing is done by pushing the app through App Store Connect to TestFlight users.

			My testers:
			* My iphone 12 mini
			* Regina's big iphone
			* (Erik won't update his iOS)

			==== Adding testers ====
			* It was fairly easy to add a user via my TestPlan UI on apple's website. I added Regina's email, and sent her an invite. From there, she got a code and could install TestPlan with the code to get A better Trader installed. Yay!
			* First time, I went through this awful process to get the phone UDID. I had to use a hacked up app on my iPhone. Erik got his number by plugging his phone into his macbook.

	~~== Concepts ==~~
	* @Binding: allows one "source of truth" with many references called bindings
	* @StateObject: an object owned and mutated by its parent class
	* Codable: a designation that an object can be en/decoded
	* Identifiable: a designation that an object uses predictable identification (eg via an ID)
	* [https://www.hackingwithswift.com/books/ios-swiftui/custom-modifiers Custom modifiers] allow you to put all your modifiers (eg .font(.headline)) into one reusable set.

	~~=== Modifiers vs Custom View ===~~
	Tip: Often folks wonder when it’s better to add a custom view modifier versus just adding a new method to View, and really it comes down to one main reason: custom view modifiers can have their own stored properties, whereas extensions to View cannot.

	~~== SwiftUI vs UIKit ==~~

	UIKit is OLD and BIG. You'll still need it to get to some Apple services until SwiftUI is fully fleshed out. For my JSON API driven apps, I WILL AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE, and hold out for SwiftUI expansion.
