MasterOnceVStack Spacing Drill
Get spacing right by repeating the same vertical stack with new values.
Build a VStack with three labels and change spacing every repetition.
Watch how small spacing changes affect rhythm.
Add .padding and see how spacing and padding compound.
Repeat until you can predict the layout without running the preview.
This drill makes spacing feel like a dial, not a guess.
Use it before designing any list or form screen.
Try spacing values 4, 8, 12, 16 to build a mental scale.
Save the best spacing combo as a reusable constant for future screens.
Try the repetition loop
Pick a SwiftUI concept and write it 50 times. Feel the pattern lock in.
