Facebook Home port for iOS.

This is an attempt to replicate essential elements of the Facebook Home experience in iOS as an app. The aim is to re-create features like Cover Feed with nothing but simple UIKit controls and the Facebook Graph API.

Working features:

  • Coverfeed. Supports posts of type photo (addedphotos/mobilestatusupdate/sharedstory) and status (picture/mobilestatusupdate/wall_post).

  • Double tap to like/unlike a post from Coverfeed.

View comments and add comments to a post.

  • Post to your own timeline.

  • Fake launcher that opens apps like Facebook Camera, Twitter, Instagram, Mail.

  • SSO to Facebook using iOS 6’s SocialFramework.
