一个定期翻译国外iOS优质的技术、开源库、软件架构设计、测试等文章的开源项目
A community translation project that published Chinese versions of English iOS development articles from sites like Ray Wenderlich and AppCoda. Ran from April to October 2015, producing about 20 issues of translated tutorials on Swift, UIKit, Core Graphics, and related topics. Dead since early 2016.
Covered a real gap in 2015 when Chinese iOS developers had limited access to quality English tutorials. Organized workflow with GitHub issues for tracking translation status (claimed, in-progress, review, published). Selected decent source material — RWenderlich and AppCoda articles were solid Swift 1.x/2.x content at the time. Community-driven with multiple contributors sharing the translation load.
Abandoned in February 2016 — the content covers Swift 1.x/2.x, iOS 8/9, and APIs that have changed significantly or disappeared entirely. No code is in this repo, just Markdown articles, so there is nothing runnable to evaluate. The articles reference Swift syntax and UIKit patterns that are now outdated or superseded by SwiftUI. Picking this up in 2026 means reading historical documentation, not learning current iOS development.
