NewsFlow is a production-grade iOS application built with SwiftUI and Swift Concurrency. It demonstrates a protocol-oriented architecture designed for scalability, testability, and performance.
-
Structured Concurrency & Lifecycle Management: Deepened expertise in Swift's modern concurrency model. This ensures optimized resource management and used 'Task' that prevents the UI from freezing while the network request is running.
-
Protocol-Oriented Networking Abstraction: Developed a highly scalable and decoupled networking layer using an Endpoint protocol. Using Endpoint, all API calls transform into a structured object that is easier to maintain.
-
Decoupled & Stateless UI Components: Engineered reusable SwiftUI components that adhere to the Single Responsibility Principle. By ensuring Views only receive the specific data required for rendering, I achieved a "data-driven" UI that remains independent of the ViewModel's underlying implementation, facilitating easier maintenance and cross-feature reusability.
-
Async image loading with 3-state handling: Implemented a comprehensive asynchronous image loading strategy using SwiftUI's AsyncImage 3-state pattern. By explicitly managing these states, I ensured UI stability and prevented layout shifts, providing a polished UX through custom loading states and graceful fallback mechanisms.
