## What it is
A Django library that brings Material Design 3 UI components and full-featured CRUD/admin interfaces to Django projects, built on TailwindCSS and django-cotton with no frontend framework or build step required. It is part of the Viewflow ecosystem for rapidly building business applications with minimal code.

## Use cases
- add material design components to a django app
- build a styled django admin alternative
- create CRUD views for django models quickly
- style django forms with material design
- build django business apps without react or vue
- rapidly prototype a django frontend

## When to choose
- you use Django and want Material Design 3 styling without a JavaScript frontend framework
- you need ready-made CRUD and admin views with minimal setup
- you want AI-assisted or low-code friendly component APIs
- you prefer no build step with pre-built CSS and JS included

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, production-frozen API - the project warns APIs may change between versions
- your project requires a permissive license - it is AGPL-3.0
- you use Flask, FastAPI, or a non-Django stack
- you want a React/Vue component library rather than Django templates
