## What it is
The full open-source codebase behind www.pointfree.co, a subscription-based educational site for advanced Swift programming with videos, transcripts, and playgrounds. It is a server-side Swift application built on SwiftNIO with a Postgres database, split into PointFree, Styleguide, and Server packages.

## Use cases
- learn advanced Swift and functional programming from video episodes
- study how a real server-side Swift website is architected
- explore pure-function web rendering with side effects pushed to boundaries
- see snapshot testing and playground-driven web development in practice
- find the source code samples from Point-Free video episodes
- learn functional programming concepts like function composition and type-driven design in Swift

## When to choose
- you want to learn advanced Swift, functional programming, or SwiftUI from expert videos
- you want to study a production server-side Swift codebase using NIO and Postgres
- you want the downloadable playgrounds and code samples from Point-Free episodes

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose web framework or starter template rather than a specific site's source
- you are not working in Swift or interested in Swift ecosystem topics
- you expect the full video content for free - most episodes are members-only

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, templating, testing, documentation
- domain: education, web-development, developer-tools, programming-languages
- platform: -
