## What it is
A node-based visual programming language written in Swift that assembles to executable Swift code. It is a proof-of-concept app designed to be used entirely with Apple Pencil or touch on iOS.

## Use cases
- build programs visually with node graphs on an ipad
- generate swift code from a visual flow editor
- teach programming without typing code
- prototype logic using apple pencil on ios

## When to choose
- you want to experiment with node-based visual programming on ios
- you need a touch-first code authoring environment
- you want to see how visual programs can compile to swift

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready visual programming tool
- you develop on non-Apple platforms
- you need a stable, fully-featured language rather than a proof of concept

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: programming-language, gui, editor
- domain: programming-languages, developer-tools, mobile-development
- platform: -
- tags: visual-programming, node-based, apple-pencil, swift-playgrounds, proof-of-concept, ios, swift, mobile
