A simple MVP iOS app for browsing XKCD comics
A client has just discovered xkcd comics and has asked for a comic viewer app with the following requirements
- Browse comics
- View details of each comic
- Search by for comic
- Get an explanation of each comic
- Favorite a comic to work offline
- Send a comic
- Get notifications when a new comic is posted
- Multiple form factors
Given the amount of work, the first round will be to create an MVP. I have chosen to create a simple iOS app using SwiftUI. I began the process by outlining the features I would include in this version and set up the outline of each view. I landed on the following outline and features:
Browse View
- search bar
- comic preview (image & title)
- button to detail view
- navigation to view comics
Detail View
- title and image
- alt text description
- link to explanation (new view or popup)
- button to favorite (core data)
- button share
Favorites View
- thumbnail of favorite comics
- swipe to delete from list
