  • TCA for short. Very scalable, quite promising, quite popular. A decent alternative for MVVM enhanced by the Clean Architecture. You can learn more about it in a Point-Free tutorial and on GitHub.

  • SwiftRex

    Swift + Redux + (Combine|RxSwift|ReactiveSwift) -> SwiftRex

  • Originally created for React web apps. Difficult to navigate the code, messy side-effects. ReSwift is a prominent implementation for iOS, although the project doesn’t show much activity anymore. There are others. SwiftRex, for example.

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • CombineFeedback
