## What it is
BootMetro is a web UI framework that gives web applications the Windows 8 Metro UI look and feel, built on top of Twitter Bootstrap 2 and HTML5 Boilerplate. It provides Metro-style tiles, panorama, pivot, listview, and toast components in HTML, CSS (LESS), and JavaScript.

## Use cases
- build a web app with Windows 8 Metro UI styling
- create an intranet site with a Metro look and feel
- add Metro-style tiles and panorama views to a Bootstrap app
- prototype a Windows Store app style interface in the browser
- style a dashboard with Windows 8 tiles

## When to choose
- you specifically need the Windows 8 Metro aesthetic on the web
- your project is already based on Bootstrap 2
- you want Metro widgets like panorama, pivot, and tiles without running on Windows 8

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained framework with active support
- you are starting a new project on Bootstrap 3+ or a modern stack
- you need modern responsive design beyond the Metro style
- you require a permissively licensed dependency with clear terms
