Hello everyone

I'm Thomas, primarily an iOS/macOS developer but I love to try new things. In the past I also did some web application development using React and other technologies. But those day my open source projects are mostly about SwiftUI. And Redux. Yeah! I'm a big fan of the Redux architecture and I've been working with Redux and iOS (UIKit) for years. So I love plugging it wherever I see it fit.

Why am I here? Why are you reading that? 🍷

I really love to share with the community any side projects I'm working on. It's a huge motivation for me. Actually, most of the time I just create a new Github repository, find a cool name (or not 😂) and create the repository. Then I clone it and finally I create a new Xcode project inside this new freshly cloned folder. All that to say that my mentality is not mobile first, but.... opens source first! 🥁

As soon as SwiftUI was released I started an open source project called MovieSwiftUI. It's a full featured iOS and macOS application using SwiftUI, Redux and Combine. I've been thrilled with the feedback. Today it have round 4200 stars and I keep it up to date with latest SwiftUI features and API change. It's also used by Apple in the Swift Source compatibility tests suite. I consider it to be a great starting point if you want to learn SwiftUI & Combine. And it's a great introduction to understand Redux and why it works so well with SwiftUI.

But right now, I'm working on a new SwiftUI application here. It's a full featured companion application for Animal Crossing New Horizons. And it's even available on the App Store. And this time it's not made with Redux but a simple MVVM architecture. We now have over 20 contributors and if you want to get into SwiftUI you can become one too!

I also write from time to time, last summer with the release of SwiftUI I've wrote a serie of articles about how to make a real world application using SwiftUI.

And last but not least I'm also giving conferences whenever I'm invited to speak. I did a FrenchKit talk about SwiftUI & Redux, a shorter version of this talk at DotSwift. And I did my last talk about Redux + SwiftUI at UIKonf. Time to change topic now.

All that to say that I really love contributing to the wonderful Swift community. But I also have a full time job that I love.
So if you enjoy all that, please consider supporting my work via Github sponsorship!
Thank you! 🚀
