Hi is anyone working on revamping the explore view?

I was thinking about revamping the explore view using the design mentioned here #76 (comment)
Let me know if you're currently working on it to prevent duplicative efforts or if you'd like to work together on this!

I'm quite new to ios dev so was thinking about using SwiftUI first

Please use SwiftUI where possible for new code. We're not at 100% parity for important components yet, though. Notably, I don't have a complete solution for display of the subset of HTML we support; we're missing blockquotes and emoji.

Also note that it's possible to embed UIKit views in SwiftUI views but not the other way around — SwiftUI views can only be embedded in UIKIt as view controllers, which are the roots of view hierarchies. So if you're writing a whole new top-level view, SwiftUI can be used easily, but adding SwiftUI piece by piece to a mostly-UIKit view isn't possible.

I have zero experience with UIKit/AppKit, but have been doing SwiftUI stuff for a few years, now. I would be happy to contribute to this project, and looking at the SwiftUI/UIKit views it appears to me that there's a lot of work to be done. It sounds like the way to proceed would be to take an outermost UIKit element, convert it to SwiftUI (if possible, admittedly), and then drill down. Is that right?
