Show HN: Turn Your APIs into Swift Protocols
2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 20 Jun 2023

Hey HN!
If you're a fan of Swift you may have noticed that with WWDC 2023 came the (beta) release of macros. They're super powerful and expressive!
I've been wishing Swift had a [Retrofit](https://square.github.io/retrofit/) style API definition library for years, and with macros it seemed like this was now possible.
I'd like to show you all Papyrus, a library that turns your APIs into type-safe Swift protocols.
Would love to get your feedback.

So I've been playing around with search.maven.org and perhaps I'm not quite understanding it. For example, if I look for Retrofit I'm not seeing anything that resembles retrofit above https://central.sonatype.dev/search?q=Retrofit.
