Features to Come 📲

User-Oriented

• Quote submission: enter your name for submission credit in the app's "Newest Quotes" section
• User navigation flows from clicking on the widget or notifications -> should lead to that quote in the app (perhaps in an expanded view, as opposed to the base quote box)
• Onboarding user navigation flow for first-launch to get a user's widget and notifications set up

Technical

• Google Image Search API integration to fetch author images ad-hoc
• Based on user quote interactions (like, save, etc.), they'll be shown more similar quotes
  • Integrate LLM to analyze bookmarkedQuotes and likedQuotes from localQuotesService, to come up with relevant search queries to my API, Quote-Dropper

Development 💻

Please take a look at the Projects tab Kanban board for the best representation as to what I'm working on, and what my current priorities are for this app.

Recently (this past week):

• Re-architected to follow MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) file/code structure
• Incorporated Dependency Injection
  • For the primary benefit of unit testing with mock services
    • PR #130: Unit tests with Dependency Injection for Mock Services (New)
  • Also, to decouple logic between views and view models, while ensuring the View Model doesn't depend on the View (only a dependency in the opposite direction)
• Re-wrote closures with memmory leak prevention in mind, using weak self
  • PR #134: Memory Leaks & Compiler Optimization
• Various Refactoring:
  • PR #129: Custom View Modifiers (DRY principle) + Standardized Components
  • PR #122: Refactoring to Enums
    • Prior to this refactor, I was using string checks for logic, which was a big code smell, that could've caused logic errors and definitely made the code harder to read

Currently:

• Memory Leak Unit Testing
  • See this Stackoverflow Q&A of mine for more context
• Continuing refactoring efforts, for these two files in particular (bloated and could have helper functions for repeated work or separation of logic, to follow the SOLID - Single Responsibility principle more closely)
  • QuoteDropletWidget.swift
  • APIService.swift
• Incorporate UI Testing
