Colossal Collection is a complete Swift 3.0 project, the source code for the latest version of my iOS app Colossal Short Stories Collection

Colossal Short Stories is a premium ebook iPhone & iPad app which bundles over 2400 of the best short stories in the public domain, and was featured on CNET and TUAW several years ago.

Who is this for?

This repository is public in order to allow interested parties to study and get inspired from it. The original source code remains proprietary and is NOT Open Source. In order to use it in your projects you'll need to acquire a commercial license.

Limitations:

This public repository only hosts 13 short stories from 2 authors (Hans Christian Andersen and Arthur Conan Doyle).

The actual app on iTunes contains over 2400 short stories. If you want to get the full contents, go ahead and download the app from the AppStore - it's a good investment.
