## What it is
Carte Blanche is a webpack plugin that provides an isolated development space for UI components with integrated fuzz testing, letting developers view and explore components in different states. It is explicitly unfinished and unmaintained, and likely no longer works with modern toolchains.

## Use cases
- preview react components in isolation while developing
- fuzz test ui components automatically
- browse all components in a project in different states
- build a component playground inside webpack dev server
- develop components without running the full app

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy react 15 project that already uses it
- you want a historical reference for component playground design

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - the readme says it does not work anymore
- you need windows support
- you use modern react or webpack versions
- you need maintained tooling with support

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: testing, fuzzing, ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools, testing
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: webpack-plugin, component-playground, react, component-development, isolated-development, unmaintained, nodejs, web-server
