About this project
News readers are the hello-world of iOS app development. This project teaches SwiftUI views, async/await for networking, image caching, list virtualization, and pull-to-refresh. Use the NewsAPI or Hacker News API. Persist articles locally so the app works offline.
Why build this in 2026?
SwiftUI is the dominant iOS UI framework in 2026 — UIKit is maintenance-only. This project gets the fundamentals.
