Covid Update Feed: An app that fetches data from the UK government's API for coronavirus announcements

Covid Update Feed

Covid Update Feed is a single screen app that fetches data from the UK government’s API for coronavirus announcements.

It was my first experience of creating my own app from scratch.

Before this, I had only ever followed tutorials from Hacking with Swift or various YouTube channels.

This app features a few core principles of iOS development I knew that I would use frequently in the future, and it was from working with these principles and the fun I had implementing them, that fuelled my decision to change careers
