## What it is
A generic menu and interactivity library for the Arduino framework, supporting menus, submenus, input fields, and event-driven handlers across many display and input devices. It is designed as a non-blocking polling system so user tasks can run concurrently with menu navigation.

## Use cases
- build a settings menu on an LCD or TFT with Arduino
- navigate menus with rotary encoder or buttons on embedded devices
- create input fields for adjusting parameters on ESP8266 projects
- add a non-blocking user interface to an AVR microcontroller
- handle keyboard or touch input for device configuration
- build an IoT device with an on-device control menu

## When to choose
- you need a menu system on Arduino with minimal RAM/flash usage
- you want support for many display and input hardware combinations
- you need non-blocking menus so other tasks keep running

## When to avoid
- you need a full GUI framework with graphics and animations
- your project is not on the Arduino/embedded platform
- you need features only available in the in-development successor (OneMenu/HAPI)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, embedded, gui
- domain: embedded-systems, iot, developer-tools
- platform: iot, embedded, cpp
- tags: menu-system, lcd, tft, encoder-input, non-blocking, progmem, esp8266, avr
