Hmm… how are doing this?

a bunch of vstacks and hstacks? I don't really know enough about swiftui tbh

they're in a list with a listStyle of .plain im not sure where a lot of the padding is coming from to be honest, which is probably why im making bad assumptions that don't hold up when there's stuff like the link cards

Me neither 😅 I know some theory, but haven't written anything bigger yet. Looks like you don't have any paddings set on the outer stacks? If you want some padding from the screen edges/other cells, you should have something like this on the lvl1 or lvl2 stack: HStack() { ... } .padding(10)

hmm so the list is giving it default padding then? so I just need to give it explicit padding?

I'm not sure what the list is adding here… maybe try the old trick with adding .background(.red/blue/green) to all rectangles everywhere to see which whitespace comes from where :D

classic - lol will do

AFAIK the stacks shrink similar to how they would without flexbox. Try setting the width of the stack to 100% and see what happens
