How to turn your Medium post(s) into a SwiftUI app that works on both iOS and macOS
I recently turned one of my posts into a SwiftUI app, and the process is very easy. My post was documentation for SwiftUI itself, so it was separated into segments for each of the Views and classes. In this tutorial, I will be referring to these as chapters, but what I’m really talking about is the different sections that will be displayed in the app. Obviously you can’t make an app out of just a single post without any interactivity or segmentation, so if your posts are all one long piece you might want to include multiple Medium posts with one post per chapter.
You actually don’t need to have a Medium post to make this app. It will display HTML from anywhere, I just give some specific instructions about extracting the HTML from a Medium post here so that you can follow in my footsteps. What we’re essentially creating here is a SwiftUI HTML reader, which isn’t really the same as a web app. After all, we have the ability to do whatever we want with SwiftUI, and HTML doesn’t (and shouldn’t) need to be a central component of our app’s functionality.
This is just a quick way to get our content from here to there.
