Building Reddit’s Design System on iOS
We still wanted to leverage a layout engine that could be performant and easy-to-use. After doing some performance testing with native UIKit, Autolayout, and a few other third-party options, we ended up bringing FlexLayout into the mix, which is a Swift implementation of Facebook’s Yoga layout engine. All RPL components utilize FlexLayout in order to lay out content fast and efficiently. While we’ve enjoyed using it, we’ve found a few touch points to be mindful of. There are some rough edges we’ve found, such as utilizing stack views with subviews that use FlexLayout, that often come at odds with both UIKit and FlexLayout’s layout engines.

Hey guys, does anyone know Objective-C course (paid or free) for building apps without storyboards? (without storyboard is important)
I guess it's two different things. First of all, you can get an udacity course "objective-c-for-swift-developers" and then just find a lib for layouting (e.g. PinLayout supports objective-c and doesn't use an autolayout)
What are some alternatives?
