func inspiration
summary
Builds a UI framework abstraction on top of native Cocoa that boosts productivity and reduces friction by shipping three core features: reload only if needed that diffs models to apply hard or soft updates, declarative component models for grids/carousels/lists that turn JSON into UI, and a state cache that MD5s a cache key to disk for instant offline-like views. Uses type aliases and conditional build directives for multi‑platform support, a parent scroll view trick to mix collection and table views, and results in about 10–15 active frameworks (24 CocoaPods entries). The framework works but creates ownership friction solved by public GitHub discussion.
