## What it is
Natalie is a Swift command-line tool that generates strongly-typed Swift code from Xcode storyboard files, replacing string-based identifiers for storyboards and segues with enums. It produces a single .swift file with extensions and a Storyboards enum as a drop-in replacement for UIStoryboard.

## Use cases
- generate swift code from storyboards
- avoid string-based segue identifiers in swift
- type-safe storyboard access in ios apps
- enumerate storyboards and view controllers as enums
- reduce runtime crashes from mistyped segue names

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Swift project using storyboards and want compile-time-safe segue identifiers
- you want to eliminate stringly-typed UIStoryboard and segue code

## When to avoid
- you use SwiftUI or programmatic UI instead of storyboards
- you need an actively maintained tool - last release was 2018 and it targets Swift 4
- your project uses modern Xcode tooling that supersedes codegen for storyboards
