Basic noob question: How do you begin to learn how to build an iOS app for Lemmy? (self.programming)

I know there are a couple of apps already in development, but I kinda want to have a go to learn how to build an app in Swift. So what are some good resources to learn?

Do you have programming experience? I can't tell from your post if you're looking for API resources or general programming resources. If it's your first time programming, making an app like that might be a bit of an overwhelming first project unfortunately

Yeah, I’m a complete novice. So maybe I’ll set my sites somewhat lower…

You can start with smaller pieces of the app! Like one thing you can do is to try learning a bit of Python and play around by making simple requests to a Lemmy API to print off a list of posts from the front page.

For learning I'd recommend checking out Codecademy. I got my start with programming there like 10 years ago and I feel like I owe a lot to the website. They have fully interactive tutorials and give you a great starting point.

Good luck! :)
