He delivered a redesigned Story Row component and overhauled the feed and comments UI, aligning the interface with Android for cross-platform consistency. Using Swift, SwiftUI, and asynchronous programming, Rikin implemented multi-feed support with incremental paging, a web-scraping-based comments loader, and a robust authentication system with session cookies. His work included local bookmarking with persistence and a new Settings/Profile experience. The engineering demonstrated depth in frontend architecture, data management, and state handling, laying a strong foundation for future enhancements.
