# Winston: a native Reddit client for iPhone

Winston is lo.cafe’s native Reddit client for iOS, written in Swift and SwiftUI. Its product page brings together original screenshots and the public source-code destination.

## An interface made for iPhone

The original screenshots show Winston’s approach to reading Reddit on a phone. They preserve the application’s visual design and are a useful starting point before looking through the code.

The screenshots on locafe.app are original materials archived in November 2023. They sit alongside the project links so a reader can move from the product’s appearance to the implementation and history.

## A public Swift and SwiftUI project

The [public repository](https://locafe.app/journal/exploring-the-winston-source/) at github.com/lo-cafe-ltda/winston contains the source code, development branches, version tags and historical releases. The README identifies iOS 17 as the documented minimum requirement.

For readers interested in native iOS development, this makes Winston a concrete project to explore: a named application, an Xcode project and the source history behind the interface.
