If youโ€™re into mobile development, youโ€™ve probably heard of MVVM. But if you havenโ€™t, hereโ€™s a quick intro:

๐Ÿ” ๐— ๐—ฉ๐—ฉ๐—  (Model - View - ViewModel) is a pattern focused on UI separation. It allows for cleaner and more maintainable code by splitting the UI from the logic and data behind it.

๐Ÿ“ฑ In the early days of mobile app development, we had ๐— ๐—ฉ๐—– (iOS) and ๐— ๐—ฉ๐—ฃ (Android). But as both platforms matured, developers found common ground in MVVM for managing UI interactions.

๐Ÿ’ก As apps grew more complex, it became clear that other aspectsโ€”like networking, storage, and business logicโ€”couldnโ€™t all fit into one layer. This paved the way for ๐—–๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ, with MVVM handling the UI while the rest of the app is structured properly.

๐Ÿค” Is MVVM still worth using today? Absolutely! Just make sure to design your appโ€™s architecture with more than just the UI in mind.
