in plain english

SwiftGuide (now called Swift Open Source Highlights) is a curated reference collection for the Swift programming language, the language used to build apps for Apple devices. Rather than being a beginner tutorial, this project organizes notable open-source Swift projects, development tools, and application design patterns into structured reference maps, primarily presented as mind maps. A mind map is a visual diagram that organizes related topics in a branching structure, making it easy to browse and compare. The project started in 2014 when Apple first introduced Swift, initially gathering learning resources especially for Chinese-speaking developers. Over time, as Swift matured and the number of beginner resources grew large elsewhere, this project shifted focus to a more curated selection of open-source Swift projects, covering how they relate to application architecture (the way software is structured and organized), development practices, and tooling. The collection is broken into several sections: a broad map of Swift open-source projects by category, a more focused view organized around application architecture considerations, an overview of notable development teams and organizations in the Swift community, and a list of well-known individual contributors. It is aimed at Swift developers who want a structured, stable reference to meaningful open-source projects rather than a constantly-updated list of every available resource.
