Read full descriptionHide full description
Nimbus started off as a personal project. I was building out SwiftUI components and wanted a clean way to organize, revisit, and reuse them. But the more I built it, the more I realized it could help other iOS devs too — especially folks learning SwiftUI. It’s a reference app that shows off SwiftUI views — animations, layouts, buttons, and more — with the actual code and a quick breakdown of what’s happening. You can browse by category, favorite the ones you like, and even add your own. Whether you’re just getting started with SwiftUI or want a place to find and share reusable components, Nimbus is open-source and always evolving. Built for learners, tinkerers, and devs who like to move fast.
