[Open tasks] Replace storyboards with code

[misteu]

GOAL

Replace all the storyboards with UIs created via code.

For not having one really huge branch, this will be split up in issues on a screen basis!

If you are interested in working on some screen, please comment on any of the open subtasks listed below.

Subtasks

• NewLanguageViewController
  [Replace Storyboard] NewLanguageViewController  #17
• HomeScreenViewController
  [Open Task] Replace storyboard for HomeScreenViewController with code. beginners-welcome  #20
• LanguageScreenViewController
  [Open Task] Replace storyboard for LanguageScreenViewController with code. #21
• AddNewWordViewController
  [Open Task] Replace storyboard for AddNewWordViewController with code. #22
• (Final issue) Remove any Main.storyboard references from the project, update AppDelegate.

WHY

Storyboards are slow to load in Xcode and they are harder to maintain compared to plain code.

AC

• There should not be any storyboards in the app.

• Optional
  First choice would be UIKit. It might make sense to also have a look whether it might make sense to start rewriting screens using SwiftUI. However, this will be way more work as it's a rewrite of everything.

Hi @InsanelyHarsh!
Thank you for your interest in the project :)

Please tell me which screen you want to translate into code. I will create an issue and assign it to you.

Have a great weekend!

Hi there and thank you!
I created this issue for the specific View Controller you worked on:
#17 (I think you need to comment there so that I can assign it to you)

I am taking up the HomeScreenViewController.

Hi @Kanishka3 !
thanks for your interest! :)

Can you comment inside of the issue for this screen (#20)? I will assign it to you then.

Actually, it is already assigned to somebody else but I don't think there wasn't any work done yet.

Please comment there and maybe let's wait until tomorrow if he reacts.
