## What it is
CLOG (The Common Lisp Omnificent GUI) is a Common Lisp framework that builds graphical user interfaces using web technology, communicating with a browser over websockets while all application logic runs on the server. It can serve as a cross-platform GUI framework, a website framework, or both, and ships with CLOG Builder, a full IDE and GUI builder written in CLOG itself.

## Use cases
- build cross-platform desktop GUI apps in Common Lisp
- create interactive web applications with server-side logic
- develop mobile apps that run natively on Android and iOS
- build monitoring dashboards for embedded systems
- teach programming with a parallel GUI framework
- build multiplayer online games
- generate cross-platform reports

## When to choose
- you want to write GUIs or web apps entirely in Common Lisp
- you prefer server-side UI logic with no client-side JavaScript to write
- you need one codebase targeting desktop, web, and mobile
- you want a stable, production-proven API with an integrated IDE and GUI builder

## When to avoid
- you need a rich client-side JavaScript ecosystem or SPA frameworks like React
- your team does not use Common Lisp
- you need offline-first apps without a browser or websocket connection
- you require pixel-perfect native platform widgets rather than browser-rendered UI
