## What it is
The archived Electron-based nteract desktop application, a cross-platform interactive notebook app for working with Jupyter kernels. It was part of the nteract monorepo alongside the core SDK and Jupyter extension, and is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- run jupyter notebooks in a native desktop app
- edit and execute ipython notebooks without a browser
- explore data interactively with a repl notebook
- build custom notebook apps on the nteract sdk
- use jupyter kernels with a lightweight desktop client

## When to choose
- you need a legacy Electron notebook client for an older workflow
- you want to study or fork the nteract desktop/SDK codebase
- you depend on the BSD-licensed nteract SDK packages

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained notebook application - use JupyterLab or the current nteract releases
- you need the latest nteract features like agent integration or the new desktop app
- you need production support or bug fixes
