We have been doing open source for a while, you may have met some of our work on GitHub or read some of our stories. We don’t try to reinvent the wheel, but there are many components we need specifically for our workflow, or things that need to be customised for the apps we are building. So we built many frameworks and apps. And as we are using them in our production apps, we think it might be a good idea to share them with the world. This is a win win situation since we contribute back to the community, while getting lots of feedback and advice. Being a small iOS team, doing client projects full time while trying to get a bit of free time to work on open source is very challenging.

Open source is all about building abstractions. By separating responsibilities and making reusable frameworks, we learn the most of Swift, as well as grasping some nifty nitty details about the APIs we are working with. But we have never told about how we do things. So there will be a series of our open source stories, detailing the technical aspects behind our work as long as the open source experience.
