This project is no longer active and doesn't look good after iOS 7 came out. No new features will be added but some of the logic should still run if you're interested in knowing about them.
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 basic UIKit controls and the Facebook Graph API.
