Snapchat UI

How did you manage to pull the news articles in the stories view?

  • I actually used the News API (https://newsapi.org/) and got a hold of the JSON they provide for their latest MTV articles; using the MVC pattern.

How did you manage to load the snaps?

  • I actually wrote up a simple node.js server that I've hosted up on Heroku (https://snapchat-nodejs.herokuapp.com/posts) and again I used the MVC pattern to fetch and display those snaps. Here's an example of my Snap Object:
class Snap: NSObject {
    var username: String?
    var timestamp: NSNumber?
    var type: String?
    var bitmoji: String?
    var isRead: Bool?
    var content: String?
    
    init(username: String?, timestamp: NSNumber?, type: String?, bitmoji: String?, isRead: Bool?, content: String?) {
        self.username = username
        self.timestamp = timestamp
        self.type = type
        self.bitmoji = bitmoji
        self.isRead = isRead
        self.content = content
    }
}
