Clean Architecture MVVM Compose Multiplatform News App

App description

Disclaimer:

This app is used for my own learning and is a WIP - do not expect everything to work here perfectly. The Compose UI for iOS and Room database are still in alpha - so don't expect them to work perfectly either.

This is a simple app that displays a list of news articles from Newsdata.io. It has the ability to preview the articles in a WebView and save them to favorites. The intent here is to try to share as much as possible between Android and iOS.

This is a Compose Multiplatform adaptation of the Android News App.
