## What is Pocket Explorer?

This small app is a GitHub explorer which allows you to browse all repositories on GitHub. 

This features are implemented:

- List Swift Repos
- Search GitHub repos
- Repo Detail page, displaying a few information about the repo, the forks and also possiblity to open the detail page as webpage in an inapp-webview
- Possiblity to connect Github account to increase the number of available Github API requests
- Sharing a link to a repository discovered
- Works on iPhone and iPad
- Pagination, possible to load max 5 pages of GitHub repos for the search of forks for a repo

The app is fully written in the new SwiftUI and it is using combine. My resume is, SwifUI is a new great opportunity to develop apps but it takes some time to learn it and to understand it. One beautiful aspect is, it is simple to make an application looking good on a normal appearence and also when dark appearence is active. And also simple to make it look great on an ipad.
