SwiftLeeds is a unique Swift conference hosted in the heart of Leeds City Centre. Founded in 2019 amongst a global pandemic by Adam Rush and now being built with over 8 volunteers, combining the Swift community and incredible globally diverse speakers brings a truly unique experience. This app contains: - A full interactive schedule for the day(s) - All the speaker details, including links to their talk descriptions, and videos if available - An interactive map of Leeds with all the recommended things to do whilst you're in town - A way to ask questions live during the conference - A way to report an issue while at the conference - An App-Clip to easily see the schedule Swift, the Swift logo and SwiftUI are trademarks of Apple Inc.
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 8 screenshots above are SwiftLeeds's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: SwiftLeeds runs a light set with one background colour (#8C9CAC) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #C49C5C, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
