Empty State Patterns

Design empty screens that guide the next action.

Create an empty list state with a short headline.

Repeat with different CTA styles.

Observe how icon size changes the mood.

This drill keeps empty states helpful, not loud.

A consistent empty state saves product time.

Repeat until you can craft one in minutes.

Add one example item so users understand the format.

Use a single CTA and avoid secondary links.

Try the repetition loop

Pick a SwiftUI concept and write it 50 times. Feel the pattern lock in.
