Read full description

A reference of everyday Swift, from strings and collections to protocols and design patterns. Every example comes with an explanation, and most of them run. • 25 sections: simple types, arrays and collections, classes and structs, protocols and generics, functions and closures, files, serialization, error handling, regular expressions, concurrency, extensions, patterns. • Run in the app: the example really executes and the output appears under the code. Needs an internet connection; the daily limit is 30 launches. • What changed in new versions: 19 sections from Swift 2.0 to 6.2, with "before" and "after" code side by side. • Keyword and function reference: 228 articles - browse the list or search by word. • SQL alongside: over 200 queries against a live practice database - JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types. Queries have their own daily count. • Edit examples and add your own - they stay in the app and are always at hand. • Search runs over the code itself, not just the titles: remember a fragment and you will find the example. • Everything except running works offline: examples, search, favourites. • Comfortable to read: light and dark themes, your own font and size, line numbers, and long lines wrap instead of running off the screen. Examples are drawn from professional sources and verified by running them. Made by a developer for developers. In development since 2015.

Hey fellow devs, Ever had a brilliant code idea while stuck in traffic? Or spotted a bug in your project during your morning coffee run? Yeah, me too. That's why I built CodeReader. Born from a coding itch (and a broken leg), CodeReader isn't just another GitHub client. It's the tool I wished I had when I couldn't reach my laptop. What's in it for you? 1. Capture ideas on the fly: Jot down those "aha!" moments before they vanish. No more napkin scribbles or forgotten strokes of genius. 2. Read code comfortably on your phone: Customize the display to your liking. Because squinting at tiny code on a small screen sucks. 3. Multi-language support: Whether you're into Python, Java, Rust, or that niche language you're tinkering with - we've got you covered. Why bother? - For when inspiration strikes at odd hours - To make use of those "in-between" moments - For quick code reviews without lugging around your laptop Look, I'm not going to claim CodeReader will revolutionize your life or make you the next tech billionaire. It's simply a tool that might make your coding life a bit easier and more flexible. Want to give it a shot? Grab CodeReader and see if it fits into your workflow. If it doesn't, no hard feelings - I'd love to hear how we could make it better for you. Happy coding! CodeReader: Your Pocket Coding Companion
