## What it is
App Framework is an HTML5-targeted JavaScript UI framework for building mobile web apps, originally developed by Intel. Intel officially discontinued the project, and it is no longer maintained or accepting patches.

## Use cases
- build mobile web apps with html5 ui components
- create cross-platform mobile interfaces for android and ios browsers
- lightweight mobile ui framework without heavy dependencies
- style mobile web apps with touch-friendly css components

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy app already built on App Framework
- you need a small MIT-licensed mobile UI layer and accept no updates

## When to avoid
- starting any new project, since the project is officially discontinued
- you need modern browser support, security fixes, or community maintenance
- you need built-in touch handling or JS scrolling, which were removed in 3.0
