the swift mailing lists are a fantastic resource. however, accessing the information in a convenient way is difficult: the web archive is not easy to navigate, and when you subscribe to a list you're bound to the ui of a mailing list. even worse, you can't see any messages posted before you subscribed.
hirundo (latin for 'swift') is a convenient way to browse and follow the discussions in the swift mailing lists like swiftevolution or swiftdev. you can even bookmark messages of threads because they contain important information
propsals: hirundo integrates upcoming and accepted proposals. this makes it easy to identify things like se055 right away.
