The problem
My first iOS project, built during the exchange semester to learn SwiftUI properly rather than to solve anything. The interesting constraint was self-imposed: make it feel like a shipped app, not like an exercise.
How it works
- MVVM, with the view model owning loading and error state and the models as plain Codable structs.
- Type-coloured detail pages driven by the API response, so the palette comes from the data instead of a hardcoded switch statement.
- Favourites stored on device and readable without a network connection, plus a live connectivity banner driven by Network.framework.
- The code is public exactly as I wrote it in 2023, and the repository ends with a section on what I would do differently now.
Stack
Swift, SwiftUI, MVVM, Network.framework, PokéAPI.
What I take from it
I left it online unchanged. A portfolio that only shows the good parts is not a portfolio, it is a brochure, and being able to point at old code and say what is wrong with it is worth more than the code being right.
Outcome
Open source on GitHub.
