## Notes

Snap is a web framework and server written in Haskell. Its Snaplets API builds applications from composable pieces, and the official Snaplets cover sessions, authentication and templates. The `snap-templates` package provides `snap init`, which creates a starter project.

## Worth knowing

The project's own website did not answer when this record was checked, so the record has no homepage link.
