## What it is
DotNetify is an open-source framework for building real-time, reactive web apps with a C# .NET back-end and React, Vue, Knockout, Blazor, or React Native front-ends over WebSocket (SignalR or Amazon API Gateway). It provides a back-end MVVM architecture that removes the need for REST APIs, with support for SPA routing, token-based auth, and PostgreSQL-driven real-time updates.

## Use cases
- build real-time dashboards with a .NET backend
- push live data from C# server to React or Vue frontend
- replace REST APIs with reactive WebSocket view models
- stream real-time updates from PostgreSQL to the browser
- build cross-platform real-time apps with React Native and .NET
- add real-time reactive state management to ASP.NET Core apps

## When to choose
- you have a .NET/C# back-end and want real-time reactive UI without writing REST APIs
- you want MVVM-style view models pushed over WebSocket to React, Vue, or Blazor
- you need real-time updates from a PostgreSQL database
- you prefer a lightweight alternative to heavy client-side state frameworks

## When to avoid
- the project is no longer actively maintained, so long-term support is a concern
- your stack is not .NET-based on the server
- you need a framework with a large active community and frequent updates
- you only need simple request/response REST endpoints without real-time features
