Tech Stack

I built this app entirely using native iOS technology. This was my first venture into iOS development, where I learned and implemented Swift and SwiftUI while working in Xcode. This experience helped me understand Apple's development ecosystem from the ground up.

Design and Functionality

I created a social media-inspired app that features a vertical scrolling feed similar to TikTok. Following MVVM architecture patterns, I designed the app to be scalable and maintainable. I added my personal touch by implementing unique features that set it apart from traditional social media apps.

Backend

I integrated Firebase as the backend solution, focusing particularly on efficient image handling. To enhance performance, I developed a custom caching system that optimizes image loading and reduces data usage.

3rd-party Tools

I enriched the app's "More" section by incorporating external APIs that provide users with practical information. I implemented weather data integration to display current conditions and added a currency conversion feature that helps users calculate exchange rates between their home country and their destination.

Development Tools

I worked extensively in Xcode, Apple's integrated development environment, using SwiftUI for building modern, declarative user interfaces. This combination allowed me to create a native iOS app that feels smooth and responsive while maintaining Apple's design standards.
