## What it is
Yep is an open-source iOS social networking app written in Swift, themed around 'meeting geniuses' to help users find experts and learners in specific domains. It demonstrates a full MVC architecture with Realm persistence, storyboard-based UI, and modular services for networking, messaging, media, and location.

## Use cases
- find experts in a skill domain
- social networking app for meeting learners and mentors
- learn how to build an iOS social app in Swift
- example of Realm database usage in iOS
- reference for iOS app architecture with storyboards
- integrate WeChat sharing without official SDK

## When to choose
- you want a complete open-source Swift iOS app to study or fork
- you need a reference implementation of Realm, storyboard references, and service-layer architecture
- you're building a skill-based community or social discovery app on iOS

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready product - the project is inactive and its website domain is for sale
- you target Android or cross-platform
- you need modern Swift/SwiftUI practices - it targets Xcode 7.2-era tooling
