new to Combine and struggling with the best way to launch multiple requests

To take the result of one publisher and return another publisher, you'll probably want to use flatMap-3k7z5). However, based on your use case, I do believe that flatMapLatest is the way to go from CombineExt. I'll explain below.

There is a CombineCocoa library available. I haven't use Combine much yet mainly because until recently, I had to support iOS versions previous to 13 and even now, there are several reactive operators that I use extensively that don't exist in Combine. CombineExt is slowly filling in the gaps though.

Other frameworks that are important for me are ones that add missing functionality, like CombineExt, or abstractions like Moya.
