LGTM. It might could use another set of eyes to refine wording/grammar but otherwise it's good to go.

@adam-fowler is the publish date (April 22) specific? There are a few other timeline coordinated blogs coming out around the same window.

I’d recommend keeping the capitalization consistent—either sentence case or proper case throughout.

I see it as sentence case for "valkey-swift" yet proper case when alone as "Swift". Not sure if intentional

valkey-swift is the name of the repo, but Swift the language tends to always get capitalized. See swift.org blog posts

No date is set. I just needed to define some date to get this PR up

grammar suggestions - all set up inline to be easy to accept. I don't think I tweaked anything off what you're trying to say, but do double check please.

+Valkey-swift is a production-grade Swift client built with modern Swift features in mind. Using Valkey with Swift provides strongly typed APIs with clean semantics, memory-safety and data-race-safety guarantees, and a very light memory footprint. The API uses Swift's structured concurrency — a paradigm designed to bring clarity to concurrent programming by using the structure of your code to automatically define the lifetimes of tasks and associated resources. This allows you to write clean concurrent code without worrying about its side effects like race conditions and connection leaks.

+Features included in our preview release of valkey-swift:


Would recommend this section be framed around core features vs features that were included in the preview release. I assume these are largely the same, but framing the content this way may be clarifying for the reader who is looking to understand what's included in the 1.0 release.
