Description:

The product name is Curiosity, a SwiftUI Reddit client for macOS Big Sur

A SwiftUI Reddit client for macOS

You'll need Xcode 12 and macOS Big Sur 12 to build & run the app. This is quite bleeding edge, the performances are not quite there yet as SwiftUI higher order components on macOS (like List and NavigationView) are not really very smooth yet. I hope it'll improve during Big Sur update cycle and I exept a big boost with SwiftUI 3 next summer. (One can hope)

But I'll continue to work on this application, add features, optimize it and eventually release it on the Mac App Store.

If you want to login with your Reddit account building the project from the source you'll need to create a file secrets.plist in Packages/Backend/Sources/Backend/Resources with your Reddit app id as client_id key/value. Create an reddit app here and use redditos://auth as redirect url.

I'll periodically release pre built version of the app in the repository.

The app is still early and SwiftUI on macOS is not that fast (yet) but I'm planning to release it on the Mac App Store with the release of Big Sur.
